City Guide
San Francisco
Your guide to accessible San Francisco — trip planning for every access need, interest, or venue type.
San Francisco has a reputation as a hard city to get around — and for one reason that’s fair: the hills. Forty-plus named hills, some of the steepest graded streets in the country, and a downtown that tilts uphill the moment you leave the waterfront. For a lot of disabled visitors that’s the whole planning question. But the hills are only half the story, and the other half is good news: San Francisco is compact, and it has one of the deepest accessible transit networks in the western US. Every Muni bus, train, and historic streetcar is wheelchair accessible, every BART station has elevators, and the system was built to move people under and around the hills rather than over them. Plan around the grade and lean on the transit, and the city opens up. This is the Only Everywhere guide to San Francisco — venue listings with real accessibility detail, honest terrain and transit planning, and how to get around without fighting the hills.
