MISSION/ NOE VALLEY

One of San Francisco’s more eclectic neighborhoods, the Mission district is known for its young and hip vibe, but takes its name from the oldest building in the city, the Mission Dolores Basilica. Colorful murals line the wide streets of the neighborhood, artfully depicting the history of the many Mexican immigrants who call the neighborhood home. Some of the city’s best Mexican food can be found in the Mission and a wide variety of popular bars and restaurants are intermingled with vintage and boutique clothing stores, book stores and organic coffee shops.
