In Western Addition you’ll meet the celebrated ladies that survived the massive 1906 earthquake.

Remember the opening of “Full House”, with maybe the most famous houses on the planet? These gorgeous homes, some of the oldest in the city, are “The Painted Ladies” and photos of these stately mansions will up your Instagram followers by at least a dozen. You can even enjoy a lunch in Alta Plaza Park and stare at them all day long if you’d like. Forget the Tanner family—it’s all about you during this trip.
