The 17 Most Instagrammable Places in San Francisco
Don’t worry about applying any sort of filter to these San Francisco places. All around the city, there are perfect photo opportunities that will fill your Instagram feed with gorgeous city landmarks, pieces of culture, art, nature, and more. Here’s a list of some of the most Instagrammable places in San Francisco.
1. Japantown

2. Sutro Baths
Building, Ruins, Swimming Pool
3. Dragon’s Gate, Chinatown
Architectural Landmark
One of the oldest Chinatowns in North America greets you at the intersection of Bush Street and Grant Avenue with the breathtaking Dragon’s Gate. This landmark attracts as many people, tourists and locals, as the whole of Chinatown. Donated to the city by Taiwan in 1970, the pagoda-topped gate features gorgeous fish and dragon sculptures with two large traditional foo dogs, or guardian lions, sitting on either side of the entryway. It’s a piece of history of an ancient culture that would bring beauty to anyone’s Instagram feed.
5. Painted Ladies
Building, Park
6. AT&T Park
Park, Stadium, Historical Landmark
Home to the San Francisco Giants baseball team, AT&T Park is perfect for sports fans and San Francisco lovers alike. There are even behind-the-scenes tours of the park that can be booked, offering great backdrops for pictures minus the crowds. If baseball isn’t your thing but you still want the great AT&T Park photos, many other events like concerts or even marathons can be joined and attended to fit everyone’s tastes.

Building, Market
The Ferry Building isn’t only where the ferry to and from San Francisco docks and boards; it’s also a buzzing marketplace. The Ferry Building Marketplace is almost like an indoor farmers’ market, if that farmers’ market also had wine bars, shops, and gourmet dining. The structure itself, which is essentially the epicenter of the Embarcadero, adorns an impressive clock tower that’s been around since the original construction of the building in 1898. And if your Instagram really wants to feature a true, outdoor farmers’ market, the Ferry Building holds one every Tuesday and Saturday.
