Overview

This four-mile loop weaves through the largest Chinatown in the U.S, climbs from the Cable Car Museum to the peak of Russian Hill, & cruises along the Italian enclave of North Beach. Beginning at the Friendship Gate, we’ll travel through the colorful alleys of Chinatown, browse its exotic markets, and visit the first Chinese temple in America. At the Powerhouse we'll see what makes the fabled cable cars tick, then ascend Russian Hill, winding through the whimsical, verdant Macondray Lane––one of the City's most beautiful hidden streets & the basis for Barbary Lane in Armistead Maupin's colorful fiction series, Tales of the City. Coast through North Beach& enjoy traditional trattoria patios, old-school bars, & handmade cuisine that bring Italian charm to life. We’ll check out City Lights Bookstore, Vesuvio Cafe, & other landmarks before ending our loop back at the Friendship Gate. "Snack stops" made at Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, Golden Boy Pizza & Stella Pastry (for purchase).
