These lovely houses are exactly alike and painted the different colors. They are Victorian based people actually lived there. There perfectly aligned. It was famous for the "full house" intro

Ashley Miller

Beautiful views of downtown and the Painted Ladies! Hum the Full House theme song to yourself. Also, there are no tour buses within 5 blocks so it's quiet and relaxing.

NYIP

One of the iconic scenes of San Francisco is a row of turn-of-the-century Victorian houses . If you go there at sunset , you can capture your own iconic photo. Read more

You can't miss the street from Full House - it's the perfect place to stop for a picnic . Be sure to pick up sandwiches from Bi-Rite beforehand!

Robbin Cenijn

Take the picture and enjoy the park . Or explore the neighborhood . There are more houses like this to photograph .

REN

I visited this place because of the spectacular view of SF and obviously the show “Full House”

Jeroen Turelinckx

If you're going on a sunny day, go in the afternoon. The sun will be facing the houses which makes their colors more pretty.

Iconic SF landmark across from a beautiful public park . Sit in the grass, warm up in the sun and admire the view .

Majed Alashari

One of the must seen places in SF. Very will noun from TV and it amazing to see it in reality.

Andrew C

Very anticlimactic... The park is being renovated, so there are so many tourists trying to get their picture in!!! Plus the bright colour of the houses are not as pronounced as thought

JC

You need to walk up the hill in the park to get a good view . So many tourists just check then out from the sidewalk on Steiner.

Natalie

Beautiful area. Walk through it so that you can see how the architecture changes from street to street.

Antonio Rojas

The opening scene from full house. Although some construction going on in the park so some of the park is fenced off. Still able to enjoy the vie and snap some photos

Famous painted ladies are across from Alamo Square. If you want to take a picture, take it across the street at the top of the hill . If not, driving by is also nice.

My CheckIn

Parking around the park can be a challenge, but worth the sight and overall time at the park .

Marilou Alejo

If you stand on the Hayes St. side of Alamo Square, you'll have the best view of The Painted Ladies (Full House houses), St. Mary's Cathedral , the Transamerica building & the rest of downtown SF. ;)

Sherry Shular

Beautiful old Victorian houses you have got to see. It's just part of San Francisco .

Doug Ales

Best photos by walking across the street to the park , then pick high spot in open field

Hannah Garcia

Bummed they were doing construction when we visited but a must see place when in San Francisco ????

They're doing construction on one of the "painted ladies" right now but at least you can still see the Full House home lol ????

Ira Serkes

Take photos from an angle ... and then climb the hill to get the view of San Francisco in the background

Simon Tan

Go at sunset , when the light hits them just right

Jacob Brady

Note that the park will be closed until 2017. You can still see the painted ladies but not from the same viewpoint as full house!

SingleMan Problems

For best results, capture your photos in the afternoon before other buildings cast shadows.

Bre Roz

Don't miss this sight. When I was there, a lady was being refurbished, hopefully you'll get the view of them all!

If you go high enough on the hill you can get a good view of SF in the background.

The tour is well worth it. They did a great job with the electronic tourist guides. Go early to avoid lines, buy tickets prior to departure day to avoid lines. - Angelos N
