View from De Young Museum

De Young Museum is inside the Golden Gate Park. But, don’t be misled — the Golden Gate Bridge is still far away from from here. Yes, you can walk but good luck to you. I’d give my hats off if you’ll get there without complaining a bit.

Well, since it’s a museum, so you already know what it’s like inside. De Young is not an exemption. They’ve got ancient relics and contemporary stuff scattered across the building.

Tip for the Traveler: 
My favourite place here is the Hamon Tower Observation Level. When you go inside, ask the guard where the Hamon Tower is. If the guard is somewhere, walk directly on your right side and find the elevator that takes you the Observation Level of the tower. It’s free.
