Culture Cluster

Civic Center is the cultural hotspot in San Francisco. The smallish park is surrounded with museum, library, opera house and symphony hall.

As the city is quite wealthy, the shows are good. Obtaining the tickets may be a challenge, though. There are also a lot of independent theatre groups, so the selection is plentiful. There is a ticket booth on Union Square.

The area itself has some issues as there are homeless people killing time in the UN Plaza, between Civic Center and Market Street.
