San Francisco is a city with an abundance of amazing street art – walking down its streets is like wandering through an art gallery. Over 1000 murals can be seen in all over the city – in some parts of the city, like the Mission, there are murals everywhere you look, and this is where you can find many of the best walls in San Francisco.
I am a sucker for a good wall and I love cruising the city to find them! Here, I’ve rounded up my favorites for the ultimate collection of the best walls in San Francisco, and where to find them.

A lot of it actually looks like an art gallery. Really beautiful collection. Are the murals recent??
Caroline
@Harinie – yes! Most of the photos were taken within the past week 🙂

Ah OK. The last time I was there was able four years ago so perhaps I missed them. 🙂

What lovely pictures. Some of the artwork in these is so detailed. It must've taken you ages to find all of them.

San Fran kind of reminds me of Melbourne (Australia) with all its street art. Can't wait to visit one day!
Caroline
I've heard that about Melbourne! Would love to go one day!!

Wow, I am a huge fan of street art and seek it out wherever I travel – these pics look amazing!!

What a great list! I live in Germany currently and not in the kind of place where there are murals for taking photos next to, so I love seeing all the cool ones back in the states. My husband might hate it, but if I ever get to a big city in the US I will be dragging him around to take my photo at the best ones!
-Kristin
Caroline
Haha you definitely should! Lots of street art all over the US!

I've read a lot of posts on street art in all different cities around the world, but never has a place impressed me so much as San Francisco – I cannot wait to visit next year!
Caroline
SF definitely had amazing street art – and there is soooo much of it!

The snacks here had a smooth taste with a bit of cheese and lime juice. To start, we got pork rinds at NYC venues; they were really flavorful with a spicy kick and smooth taste. Plus, it was a large fresh bag too, place is worth the price.
Hillary
Love these!! Thank you for sharing! Do you know where to find a plain white wall in SF?! Location scouting and on the hunt for one!

Are these murals still there? I can't seem to find the 2. Blue Houses and Poppies on google map.
