Alamo Square and Civic Center

Alamo SquareIf you happen to bring your doggy with you, you will be glad to learn that this park is a famous dog playground.

If you did not bring a dog, you should come too, since this is one of the most recognizable and most photographed spot in San Francisco.

Surrounded by Victorian Houses, you can take a shot of the houses with the city skyline in the back. Walk around the park and check out the architecture of the Victorian Houses.

City HallModeled after St. Peter’s in Rome and is even higher than the imposing US Capitol in Washington, DC. Statues on the Van Ness side of the building represent Wisdom, Arts, Learning, Truth, Industry, and Labor. Statues on the Polk side represent Commerce, Navigation, Wealth, and the city itself.
