Union Square

  Union Square sits in the heart of San Francisco, bordered by Geary, Powell, O'Farrell, and Post streets. Dating back to the 1850s, it has served as a central gathering space for both locals and visitors, featuring the iconic 26-foot-tall Dewey Monument at its center, which commemorates Admiral George Dewey’s victory in the Battle of Manila Bay. This bustling plaza functions as a hub for shopping, dining, and art, with seasonal events like the popular outdoor ice skating rink that appears every December. Visitors can also enjoy various public artworks and performances throughout the year, making it a vibrant site for leisure and community engagement. Whether you're grabbing a coffee from a nearby café or catching a live performance, Union Square is a dynamic pocket of city life that reflects San Francisco's spirited culture.
