Named after the historic Mission Dolores built in 1776, the Mission District is San Francisco’s oldest neighborhood. The Mission is vibrant, eclectic, and growing—well-known for its colorful murals, upscale restaurants, old-school taquerias, low-key dive bars, and craft cocktail lounges.
The Mission is home to the 16-acre Mission Dolores Park, a popular spot for enjoying the outdoors, picnicking, and taking in sweeping skyline views. A walkable design along with access to BART and Muni makes getting around from the Mission District a breeze.
