A wonderful sight that I didnt even know existed! The steps were gourgeously tiled with some really fun garden art. I highly recommended giving it a walk!

We went to twin peeks first and then we head to this hidden stairs. I loved it! I don’t know how long this has been here but it’s really nice. The neighborhood it’s also pretty safe and quiet. When we went it was empty. We run into an other person which was nice because we got to take each other’s pics. Also I love how there are plants and succulents on the area.

A more miniature kind comparing to the bigger one nearby. Fabulous garden around the garden collage itself. Perfect for dates.

Super cute to chill and hangout for pictures and do a fun little photo shoot for.

Stunning & beautiful!!! I absolutely love public art; having a public garbage can, a transformer box, or the support beam of a subway stop painted by an artist just makes everything more beautiful, but these stairs are on another level! The mosaic tile art is so colorful and beautiful - Ive attached pictures so you can see for yourself. And the stairs themselves are shallow, so theyre easy to walk up without getting winded.

Its gorgeous. I always drag friends down from the top and tell them not to look back, and surprise them at the bottom.

Very pretty and creative. Fun place to just look at, even if you dont live in the area. Definitely worth a visit.

These are hidden, but what a beautiful gem for the city! Loved them and the plant life around. These type of things take so many hands and creative energies. They are meant to be seen and appreciated

Hidden Garden Steps are located quite far away from the tourist attractions.But this is just an incredible art piece, as there are mosaic tiles on each step which creates one big mosaic ‘painting’ if you look at them all at once.Really beautiful!

Such a nice mosiac tile staircase, this is! However, the steps are truly hidden. Goggle maps took us to the top of the stairs, and since its in a residential area, there was no parking. If you drive around the corner however, you will not miss the staircase and the sign is there as well. We had a good time climbing and counting the stairs. We went during the early morning, so we had the staircase all to ourselves. Im so happy I stopped by.

This is another set of mosaic steps in the Sunset neighborhood. These relatively brand new and beautiful steps are good looking with colorful designs.Walking up and down the stairs will give you a good workout for the day.Since these steps are less well-known, there are less tourists there. Thus, you can easily have all these steps to yourself during your visit.Remember to bring a jacket since it is usually windy here.

Impressive mosaic of flowers up the numerous steps.Take your time to walk up whilst admiring the vibrant colours and beautifully designed flower patterns.For the fit you can always pace up your steps.

These were my favorite steps in the whole city! The artwork and detail is so beautiful.My suggestion is heading to these steps first, hiking up them (it’s not too bad), and then walking upward you’ll then find the 16th Avenue steps, and once you climb those you can go to the overlook. It made for a good journey and allowed us to see all the beautiful art. If you don’t feel up to trekking up both sets of stairs, or walking over to the 16th Avenue ones, the view once at the top of the hidden garden steps is worth it.

The hidden garden steps were pretty cool. The mosaics were made into flowers, butterflies and other garden-related things. Once you climbed the steps on 16th street, you take a right and go through this cute neighborhood a short distance to find the stairs to heaven mosaic stairway. I only gave 4 stars because I had no idea the two mosaic steps were linked. I guess that’s why it’s hidden. Noted! 5 stars!!

Quaint little place where its not the famous Moraga Steps, but it still upholds the beauty.

Very nice place. Around 150 steps not very long. Great photos!

Nice part of the crosstown trail

These steps are hidden between houses. Just follow google map direction to reach here. If you start from the top then go down without looking back. Once you are at last step then look behind and you will be amazed by the art painted on the steps.You can also take very beautiful pictures of city from these steps.

These steps are a beautiful use of public space and especially representative of the San Francisco aesthetic. A garden of native California flora lies alongside the colorfully painted steps. Visit on a cloudless day and youll be rewarded with a view overlooking the Inner Sunset and Golden Gate Park.

Beautiful tiled steps, good exercise, ok views that are partially obscured.

Beautiful view

Beautiful tiled steps to walk and admire nestled in the Inner Sunset District. This little neighborhood gem would not set your wallet back but may take your breath away. Walk to top for some skyline views. Be mindful of the surroundings in regards to parking and noise. The quiet neighborhood has sensitive ears. Enjoy the sights, snap some selfies and move on. Try to visit the nearby 16th Avenue Tiles Steps too!

Beautiful staircase with mosaics amidst the residential neighborhood. Not too crowded when I went in the afternoon and provides for a great photo op if youre in the area. This is also very close to another 16 Avenue Tiled steps which are also colorful mosaic tiled steps. I think the difference is that the hidden garden has a lot more greenery around and more shade and hence the name Hidden garden. I recommend starting from Grand view park to soak up the 360 degree views of San Francisco city, followed by getting down from 16th avenue steps and finally reaching Hidden garden. This route also makes sense since youll be going downhill, hence less tiring! Ofcourse feel free to reverse it if youre looking for a workout instead haaa! Hope you like my suggestion.

Can be less crowded than the other 16th Ave Tiled Steps but the art and colors here are richer.

Nice place to check out that wont take up too much time of your day. Parking is easy to find in this area. Steps seemed to be well maintained. There wasnt much people at this location when I went, but large groups seemed to tour at this spot as part of their itinerary. Be sure to head up the 16th Ave tiled steps that isnt too far from this location.

Absolutely love the art.

Was very secluded and peaceful! Very pretty.

Love these steps! The garden is also maintained somehow. Its awesome. The view at the top is so worth it!

Art for arts sake. Art for the sake of building community.

Beautiful tiles! There was a volunteer working on the plants who told us a bit about the history of the tiles - really sweet lady

Pleasant jaunt upwards

Fun little place for pics and to check out the beautiful stairs.

Amazing hidden spot! Must see and super mysterious while there is fog. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a small workout and an amazing view of the city. The fog will be there but its okay, really great place to get away from everything.

Ohh its Hidden. There are about 2 similar Tiled steps. One is the small which we come across in the beginning then we have to walk further ahead to find the 2nd. Its a good experience & a beautiful scenery from the top.

These are stunning steps. If you havent been, worth the trip. And if you really want to have some fun, run up them :)

I love walking up these steps! Its great exercise, great local art, and a great garden.From there, you can turn right at the top of the staircase, walk through the nice neighborhood while getting good views of and between the houses, then arrive at another great tiled staircase.Climb this next beautiful staircase, also with tiles and gardens, and at the top, turn right again, take a little staircase, turn right, and go to the wooden steps that leads to an amazing hilltop park, where you will be rewarded with spectacular views 360 degrees!All real, all wonderful, all free, all for you.Youll feel it in your legs, but youll appreciate it in your soul.

This was super beautiful and neat. Be prepared for sore legs if you decide to climb the steps. The view from above is so worth it!

This is like a mini version of the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps. Its done in the same style as the other steps. Make sure to also visit the 16th Avenue Tiled Steps. A nice place to take pictures, but difficult as there are always people taking pictures as well.

Just beautiful detail and a fun little workout climbing these guys!

It is a lot quieter than the 16th Ave Tiled Steps but just as good.

They are beautiful! If you want pictures here, you should go before the sun peaks over the staircase- it will lead to overexposure. Get here before 11am or after 2pm for the best light and most enjoyable experience.

A pleasant surprise following a visit to the 16th Street steps. Made of identical tiles, the mural is pleasant but not as enjoyable as 16th Street. It is more enjoyable to descend rather than ascend. Wear good walking shoes.

Great stop for cute photos. A very short walk so dont plan to be here all day. Very quiet mid-day during the week.

Beautiful steps and surrounding (small) gardens. Sort of a hidden gem in the city. Be ready for a small climb (wear appropriate shoes). Best when not foggy - which can be rare. The park at the top is small but has amazing views

Nice tiles and landscaping. Popular on weekends. On the way up to Grandview Park

Off the beaten path of tourist attractions...but fun to stop at if you are heading up turtle hill. Lots of people like to stop and do selfies here. I liked to read all the names of people who donated to make the hidden steps special. Its inspiring to think of the surrounding community members getting together to make their neighborhood more beautiful. Be sure to climb to the top and turn around for a beautiful view of the city.

Gorgeous Mosaic on the stair risers! Make sure to find your way all the way to the top of the hill (Crown Hill?) for gorgeous 360 views.

It was nice and kept well the first time I was there last year, but it seems to have been neglected lately. The steps themselves are still great. It is just the vegetation around it. Regardless of the current look, it is still a spot to recommend to those that seek a hidden beauty around the city.

It is really nice. Each set of stairs have a theme. It has been renovated not long ago as you can see in the pictures.Do not hesitate to go all the way up to go see the next set of stairs (tiles steps).Climb all the stairs because there is actually a lot to see all the way up that you would not see when you stay at the bottom.

Very cool hidden gem of the city

A very unique thing to see in San Fransico, although did not have a lot of visitors. I would strongly suggest you check them out as pictures do not do these beautiful stairs justice.

Awesome adventure wanted to see this ever since I found out about it.

Beautiful steps. A little quieter than the steps on 16th avenue.

A little more hidden and hence less crowded than the main mural, so a good place to try.

Hidden jem in San Francisco. Colorful stairs decorated with amazing tiled pictures. It is really beautiful!

Lovely steps. Beautiful Designs. Nice atmosphere. Perfect for photography and enjoying your time.

Just a lot of stairs though. But beautiful when it catches the sun

Truly a gem of the city. So many coming together this create and to maintain this beautiful art,. It adds life to the tiles themselves. Plan a walk and a visit for an hour or more! And the people you meet there are very cool art lovers too.

Really beautiful steps with an amazing view of SF and the ocean at the top!

I highly recomend this place for beautiful photos and the view.

This was part of a walking tour we took while visiting the city. Just one of many aesthetically captivating stairways we were shown.

I found these lovely mosaic steps unexpectedly while on my way to the Moraga Steps. Right next to a comely garden of native flora, these steps offer a whimsical spring -like design. Its a beautiful view from afar, Id suggest walking up the steps slowly to catch the striking details of the steps. Its definitely a hidden gem in the Sunset District. I find all of the mosaic steps in San Francisco (there are four) gorgeous, but this one is my favourite.Another note, from the near top of the steps, youll get a beautiful view of the area.

My favorite of the staircases in this area. The art is more vibrant I feel, and it gets less crowded. View is slightly inferior to the 16th street steps but oh well whaddayagonnado.

Great work of art. A nice neighborhood surprise.

Hardest steps ever conquered

Such a beautiful hidden gem. Theyre just so peaceful to go up and down. I wish I lived here! Each step has such an intricate design you discover all kinds of little creatures as you go up.

A must see! Little known from the tourists and close enough to 9th street which is very fun. And the view!

Loved it. Phenomenal.

A delightful hidden park. The garden around the steps is also fun. Definitely worth the walk

These steps are very beautiful! They are pretty steep, but there are so many designs on the steps. There is a lot of greenery around the steps and trees. There is not the best view from the steps because of all the trees, but at the bottom of the steps, you can look down the road to the ocean.

My photos dont begin to do justice to these beautiful steps and the views we had of Golden Gate Park or the downtown areas. There are a lot of steps and it is a long walk uphill from the bus line, so be prepared to take it easy.

I spent an hour here just looking at the incredible tile work. Lovingly created- it must have taken the neighbored thousands of hours to create that project.

Its a good steps, not too many people there.

Cool steps to see if you are in the area.

Walk all the way up and then a little right on the street. You will find another set of Mosaic steps that leads to a great view of the city.

Less popular and less beautiful than 16th Avenue Tiled Steps, Hidden Garden Steps are all the same interesting to discover.

Both the climb and the top are worth the effort.

Lovely steps decorated by the neighborhood residents in a very uplifting manner. They great for exercise but otherwise.... Well they only steps what more can you expect.

They really are hidden, its tucked in a bit and would drive right by if not paying attention. They are gorgeous and worth a stop to check them out.

Cool attraction. Just dont leave anything in your car. You will get your window smashed!

Cute and nicely painted, make for great photos.

Unique a lovely place to visit in the thick of the City a place of tranquility

Loved the creativity

Cool place for a walk up but its a lot of stairs and not much on top of them

Super fun staircase with very nice art

Beautiful place to visit and its free!

Very pretty and not crowded at all. Definitely a hidden gem of SF city.

Very similar to 16th Avenue garden steps.But not publicized that much. A 5-10 min walk down the road on 16th Avenue will lead to it and one can get down to Kirkham street from here.

You have to have heart to do thos one

One of the local attractions. Getting crowded during the day, the best is to visit early in the morning.

Beautiful made, totally worth stoping to climb these stairs

Awesome hidden gem out in the open

Loved this place. I went in the evening and it was wonderful to see the clouds pass through the hills and those Amazing million dollar homes..

Located in the Sunset District of SF, there are 2 staircases within 2-3 blocks from one another.1. Ocean Life is blue hues of mosaic tiles depicting sea life. 16th Ave / Moraga2. Hidden Garden is yellow/orange colors, depicting a floral garden. 16th Ave / KirkhamBoth are approximately a 100+ step climb, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I highly recommend visiting these hidden gems, between 1-5pm when the sun is facing & reflecting off the mirrored tiles, giving it a glistening effect. However there are days the fog (Carl) lingers closely, & can put a damper on this effect. Also, anytime of year you visit SF, ALWAYS carry a hoodie.

Extraordinary and beautiful designs on a long stairway.

Beautiful tile work ANF fantastic views

So cuteee ! I don’t know if we have seen all the steps but the part than we have seen is beautiful! If you’re close by, stop ! All that work deserves to be seen! ️

We enjoyed the beautiful mosaic art and took time to read the names and the prose pressed into the tiles.

Nice spot.Leave nothing in your car,please.
