Haight Ashbury – For old hippies

Once famous for hippies, Haight Ashbury has been able to keep its charm while it has been commercialized and most of the shopkeepers care more about money than love.

The neighbourhood is pleasant and there are a lot of shops selling clothes, records, generic stuff and peculiarities. You can get tattoos and piercings there, too.

The main street for the region is Haight Street and the shopping area is between Golden Gate Park in east and Buena Vista Park in west. Both of these parks are also worth of a visit.

Haight Ashbury is quite far away from the downtown and if you do not want to spend the best part of the day walking there, grab a taxi, MUNI or bus to get there.
