What People Are Saying About San Francisco Civic Center Plaza

Featured Review

In Short – The tree-lined, freshly cut lawn of Civic Center Plaza is surrounded by some of the city's most important institutions. City Hall, retrofitted and gilded in 1999, houses the mayor's office, the Board of Supervisors chambers and a number of other government offices. The nearby Veteran's Building contains the Herbst Theater and a 1,000-seat lecture hall. On the corner of Gough and Van Ness is the modern Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, home of the San Francisco Symphony.

Beautiful Sunset Vs. Crazy BSB fans!

by Casi C , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

I've only been to the Civic Center twice. Once as I walked through during a quiet evening as the sun was setting. The second during the crazyness the was the Pride Parade when the Back Street Boys were playing. The grand building is just beautifully structured making for a good forefront for the sunset and a good background for a concert. I would definitely like to come back during a sunny day when it isn't so crazy with BSB fans, so I can take some good pictures.
