You go here to take pictures. It is nearly a straight shot off of Steiner from Lombard street, very easy to get to. There is a nice grassy park right in front (Alamo Square) of the "Painted Ladies" (row of colorful Victorian homes) with a great view of the city behind so it's a great photo-op. On a weekday we...

Alamo sq is one of SF many parks, this might be one of the smallest but the view you get on the victorian houses and on downtown are the same as the one you see in postcards! Great place!

One of the best things about San Francisco is the various shapes, sizes, colours and designs of it's houses. The architecture is just stunning. No boring carbon copies filling row after row of streets. This is the perfect city if, like me, you like quirky, individual style. The best example of this is The Painted Ladies.

Alamo Square and the painted ladies are well worth travelling across San Francisco to see if youve got the time. Parking on the square can be a nightmare, but it's well worth being a little patient as people do move on and spaces become available.

Alamo Square with its Victorian or Painted ladies as they're known is another of those must sees. Like the Golden Gate Bridge the row of famous houses is what many of us think of when we think of San Francisco. The surrounding area is chocked full of lovely homes and interesting architecture.

These grand Victorians are an Icon of San Francisco's Victorian days gone by, however folks have fixed them up to their once original splendor. They are privately owned residences and behind them is the new more modern skyline that one can see from the park at Alamo Square.
