Alamo Square
Anyone who has ever seen an episode of the 90s sitcom 'Full
House' will know what Alamo Square looks like. It is a residential
neighbourhood and park in San Francisco, frequented by tourists,
neighbours and dog-owners. The park features a playground as well
as a tennis court. A row of Victorian houses overlooks the park,
known as the 'painted ladies' and this view is often shown in the
foreground of panoramic pictures of the city. On a clear day, the
Transamerica Pyramid building and the tops of the Golden Gate
Bridge and Bay Bridge can be seen from the park's centre.
Transport: Alamo Square is served by several Muni Bus lines including the 5, 21, 22, and 24.
