TELEGRAPH HILL AND THE OLD WATERFRONT

A Roam Local walking tour of Telegraph Hill in San Francisco is a fun, eye-opening experience. You can expect to see the famous Coit Tower, with its incredible 360 degree city views both day and night. You can take an elevator to the top of the tower or hike up the Filbert Steps for a more strenuous climb. You will also see amazing murals here so make sure to bring your camera.

Not too far off lies St. Peter and Paul Church where hundreds of prospective immigrants used to pray for their safe voyage over 100 years ago. You will also see the many outdoor murals that depict the unique culture which characterizes the city. Further along our tour, you may spot some of the rare Parrots of Telegraph Hill flying above the vibrant neighborhood from perch to perch and garden to garden.

In Washington Square Park, you'll come across the beautiful Piazza Pellegrini, which is a small square that honors the Italian immigrants who helped to build the neighborhood. The square features a fountain, benches, and a statue of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of San Francisco.
