Castro Street
We love Castro Street — it's a fun place to hang out, eat, shop, and people-watch. Like North Beach, it's one of the most cosmopolitan places in the city — it's also known for its gay community, drawing tourists and locals alike.

Castro Street (and it's little side streets and alleyways) are filled with trendy boutiques, art galleries, specialty shops, fun restaurants, and hot bars and cafés.

Castro Street Parking
Parking can be difficult, especially on weekends and during special occasions (Castro Street Fair and Halloween), so arrive early or take public transportation. The underground MUNI train stops at Castro Station, right in the heart of Castro Street.

If you're coming into SF from the Peninsula, we recommend taking BART to Civic Center and transfering to MUNI — Castro Street is the third stop.
