This is just reopening after an addition was built to house the Fisher Collection. The building(s) are a main attraction. Visit the sculpture garden. Then go across the street to Yerba Buena Gardens for more nature in the midst of the City.

Sightseeing

Walking the Filbert Steps is my favorite secret sight. Up stairs from the Embarcadero to Telegraph Hill with a bench for resting as needed. You arrive at an amazing sweet garden (similar to mine), essentially the yards of small charming cottages. You might spies kitties napping in the sun. You could climb further to the top of Coit Tower, or finish the walk on the route I provide you, have espresso and a treat.

The Ferry Building was transformed in 2003, opened up, bringing in food and other quirky stalls with the Slanted Door Restaurant as an anchor tenant. It's lots of fun walking through, tasting, smelling. You can sit in the back along the water, have something to eat or drink, watch the ferries come in an out. Or even take one to Sausalito.
