Is it realistic to see the Painted Ladies, Haight-Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, and the Castro in one afternoon?

You can do it, but it’s a tight schedule unless you’re on a tour or really good at planning your route. The Painted Ladies (at Alamo Square) are pretty quick to see, and Haight-Ashbury is close by—just a 10-minute rideshare or Muni ride. Golden Gate Park stretches out from there, but it’s huge—if you just want to check out the entrance or Conservatory of Flowers, that’s doable.

The Castro is a little further south and best reached by Muni (subway or streetcar), so squeezing that in makes it more of a “drive by” visit unless you’re committing a good 5–6 hours total. If you’re trying to do it on your own and hit all four, plan to start right after lunch and wrap by early evening.
