The Castro Neighborhood Guide

The Castro is one of San Francisco's most recognizable neighborhoods. At the heart sits a rainbow flag, known by many names. It acts as a symbol of acceptance, which is how the Castro is defined. It's a place that is rich in history, from its initial settling in the 1880s to Scandinavians in the 1910s, to the influx of openly gay servicemen during World War II and the LGBT community in the 1970s. Its openness has been led by the inhabitants who actively sought equality: people such as Harvey Milk, whose presence is apparent even today. The Castro has a genuine San Francisco feel, due to the classic Victorian and Edwardian architecture that lines the streets. The neighborhood is located centrally in the city and easy to access via the Castro BART and various Muni lines. Sun normally dominates the forecast, making the neighborhood a great place for various dogwalkers, city strollers, and other individuals seeking an active lifestyle or relief from the fog. The main streets are Market and Castro. They are booming with a diverse selection of restaurants and cafes, some of which are even dog friendly. There are multiple gyms, salons, pet stores and shops packed into this area. The nightlife in the Castro is undoubtably one of the most happening scenes in the city. The historic Castro Theater showcases endless amounts of films nightly. There are vibrant nightclubs and late-night food, as well as an abundance of bars for dancers and relaxers alike. During the day, however, life is rather normal. Families, students, and young professionals of all ages and cultures populate the streets. The Harvey Milk art center hosts performing arts and sits directly above Duboce Park, which hosts a playground and a dog park. The Castro can be described in many ways, but the only way to truly know what it's about is to experience it and the many wonderful treats the neighborhood has to offer.
