About Golden Gate Park
Golden Gate Park is a large park in west São Francisco, with gardens, lakes, and cultural institutions. It is not adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge, despite the similarity of names.
Internal sectors have considerable distances, and the itinerary changes depending on the entrance and the museum chosen. A walk through the gardens can occupy a half-day; trying to cross everything on foot reduces time to appreciate each area.
To plan your visit to Golden Gate Park, select a sector and check access to the gardens and museums, which may charge separate admission. A map of the chosen sector helps estimate the walk between a transport stop and the institution to be visited.
