Palace of Fine Arts Concerts 2025-2026

A really relaxing place. Feels like you are in greece or somewhere European! The redwoods are pretty amazing as well. No entrance fee. Parking has a minimal amount to pay. See images and videos for further information.

Very cool spot with very unique architecture. I highly recommend coming here when you're visiting SF. You can walk around the lake. I believe there's only street parking. The police cars actively patrolling the area but it’s worth place where robbers steal backpacks and luggage from your car. Be careful don’t put your bags inside car. This place is definitely a must-visit.

This place is sooooo gorgeous! It is free to walk around the outside, we went as the sun was setting and it was beautiful! The buildings and columns and architecture itself is absolutely stunning. There is also really pretty, lush vegetation surrounding the area. There are several great spots for photos! If you’re in the area I recommend stopping by! It takes less than 30 min to walk around, though you can linger as long as you would like. Free Parking wasn’t hard to find when we went but there was a paid parking lot nearby also.

The Palace grounds are some of the best kept in all of San Francisco. They are breathtaking in person, even on overcast days. But, if you can get there when the sun is out, be prepared to be wowed! Takes some selfies, but also take a few pictures of the building themselves as they are impressive!

I was blown away by the scale of this place and magnificent details. It felt very serene. I had a fun time wandering around with my film point and shoot camera. I can't wait to visit SF again so I can visit this place.
