🇺🇸 San Francisco | Condensed One-Day Tourist-Friendly City Walk

Beyond the classic Lombard Street, Golden Gate Bridge, and Fisherman’s Wharf, this time I explored Valencia St – highly recommended by a friend! Verdict: Valencia St is my favorite! 🛍️ This street is packed with adorable, design-forward boutiques – perfect for shopping and exploring. Prices are reasonable, and parking was surprisingly easy! Here are some stores I loved: 1️⃣ 826 Valencia Pirate Supply Store 🏴‍☠️ A hidden gem! The front sells animal specimens and mystical crystals, but the real treasure is the plant shop in the back 🌿. A paradise for plant lovers – the plants are thriving, and many rare varieties are available. Prices felt like wholesale compared to Seattle! I wanted to buy everything but settled for a small moss ball (due to travel constraints). Will definitely return! 2️⃣ Aggregate Supply 🎨 Loved the curation and aesthetics here! The entire store radiates design vibes. Bought unique Golden Bridge chopstick rests and bookmarks – perfect souvenirs instead of generic fridge magnets! 🎁 3️⃣ Open Editions 🥖 Spotted a baguette-shaped lamp and a bread loaf lamp – so cute! But priced at $300+ 💸 (reasonable for art pieces, though). Also loved their cards, posters, and vases! 4️⃣ Dog Eared Books 📚 A cozy, character-filled bookstore that feels like a-old tree covered in pinecones, quietly observing the street. Bought a vintage car magazine here! 🚗 Many other shops were left unexplored due to time, but Valencia St is a must-revisit on my next SFO trip! 🌟 #SanFrancisco #Travel #CityWalk #SFGuide #Shopping #GoldenGateBridge #HiddenGems #Plants #Souvenirs 🌉✨
