San Francisco Cable Car
Take a ride on one of San Francisco’s famous Cable Cars, in operation since 1873. There are three cable car routes: the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines, and the California Street line. Both the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines start at Powell and Market Street near Union Square. The Powell-Mason line winds its way up and over Russian Hill, taking a right at Mason Street and heading down to Fisherman’s Wharf to Bay and Taylor Streets. The Powell-Hyde line winds its way up and over Nob and Russian Hills to picturesque Hyde Street, before descending to the waterfront at Aquatic Park on the western side of Fisherman’s Wharf (closer to Ghirardelli Square and the famous Buena Vista Cafe).
