Haight-Ashbury

At the end of 1960, Haight-Ashbury was one of the areas where a bohemian movement was born, with hippy idealists who practised a kind of life in harmony with nature and promoting human values

The district has houses with multicoloured façades and a relaxed atmosphere. Known as being an alternative area of San Francisco, it is full of unique clothing stores, artisan shops and bars where you can hear live music.

A large part of the charm when visiting this district comes from simply observing the unusual characters that live in the area.

Haight-Ashbury is found nearby the Golden Gate Park, and so the best option is to see both places on the same day.

We recommend visiting Haight-Ashbury during the day. At night the atmosphere could be less appealing to many.
