In 1879, Robert Louis Stevenson visited San Francisco and remarked, “Nob Hill, the Hill of Palaces, must certainly be considered the finest part of San Francisco. It is here that millionaires gathered, competing with each other in grandeur.” The Nob Hill tour is a 2-hour walking photo-shoot experience that begins with a Cable Car ride and a visit to a French Gothic Cathedral, concluding at the Top of the Mark on the 19th floor of the InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel for sunset photographs and refreshments.
Nob Hill’s diverse history includes:
- The Gold Rush (not the San Francisco 49ers cheerleaders)
- The Silver Bonanza (excluding Ben Cartwright, Ben, Hoss, or Little Joe)
- The Transcontinental Railroad
- The 1906 Earthquake and Fire, and
- A magnificent French-Gothic design Episcopal Cathedral that took nearly 40 years to complete.
Nob Hill offers endless opportunities for photography!
