If you are going to San Francisco, you absolutely must see Grace Cathedral! It's on the corner of California.. And some other street I can't remember! (It's near/in Nob Hill). GORGEOUS! Leave a Comment

Nob Hill is one of the famous San Francisco hills, very close to the city centre and Union Square. The hill hosts a park surrounded by a bunch of top-class hotels with excellent views to the city and the bay and Grace cathedral -- once imposing and now dwarfed by the towers.
The best way to go the hill is walking, but it may not be option for everybody. Taxis and rental cars are good choices, too, but maybe the best non-walking transport method is to take a cable car running on California street. Leave a Comment

On a sunny day it is nice to sit on a bench in the front yard. On the small park there will be people reading, lying in the sun or meditating.
On the floor of the Cathedral there's a labyrinth and it is often said if you look down and follow the path you will get to a meditative state ... funny, I get that from martini's :p

 Fairmont, Mark Hopkins,
Pacific Union Club by finnegan
Located between California, Powell, Broadway, and Leavenworth streets, Nob Hill has been the locus of San Francisco high society for over a century. 19th century mining, railroad, and banking barons like Charles Crocker, Mark Hopkins, James Flood, and Leland Stanford built huge mansions on what was known as the “Hill of Palaces.” Unfortunately, almost all of these magnificent structures fell victim to the 1906 earthquake and subsequent fire. Only the old Flood mansion survives – today it is the Pacific Union Club.
Today Nob Hill is home to luxury apartments, condos, and hotels – such as the Fairmont Hotel (where Alfred Hitchcock filmed part of “Vertigo”), the Mark Hopkins (whose “Top of the Mark” is a great pace to have high tea of cocktails), and the Stanford Court (on the site of the mansion owned by Leland and Jane Stanford – whose money established Stanford University), as well as Grace Cathedral, a one-sixth replica of Notre Dame in Paris that took 53 years to build, and the Cable Car Museum on Mason and Washington streets.

 San Francisco - USA by solopes
Of course not. It's just one more sight of American complex for the lack of history, using their wealth and technology to reproduce the signs of European history. Finished in 1964 it's announced as one of the biggest churches in USA. Anyway, it was an opportunity for some modern artists to apply their skills and became an acceptable visitable point.
