Mission District

San Francisco’s eclectic and rapidly gentrifying Mission District is a historic hub of Latin culture, where stylish modern eateries and designer boutiques sit alongside hole-in-the-wall tacquerias and thrift stores. Stroll through the area’s picturesque streets and you’ll discover boldly colourful street art and murals splashed across the walls in every direction. The hottest creative talent is on display at the Southern Exposure gallery (SoEx), and the rolling lawns of Dolores Park offer the ideal place for a picnic surrounded by sweeping city views. On the hip Valencia Street, vintage boutiques and bookstores promise a unique purchase, and don’t miss the chance to see a movie at San Francisco’s oldest theatre, The Roxie, now a 238-seat art-house gem.
