Grace Cathedral Reviews

Third largest French Gothic style cathedral in the US. This magnificent icon sits atop Nob Hill like a crown. Definitely worth the the hike. The labyrinth inside makes for great meditating. And the donation box accepts credit cards

Spectacular cathedral with very nice stained glass windows and a high ceiling.

Instead of being built of stone, it s formed poured-in-place concrete pebble mix. Quite unique.

Amazing building. Great church. The grand scale and beautiful stained glass windows are really something. Make sure you have your camera. It's beautiful

Beautiful Cathedral open to the public and a classic labyrinth to walk and slow down on your visit. Directly across from a park and fountain on the top of the hill. This is a beautiful, peaceful place to visit and take in the day.

Beautiful Gothic revival architecture. Gorgeous layout. Worth a look certainly.

Beautiful! Just note that they ask for a $10 suggested donation and they rope it off to be sure you 'pay' before you enter/get further into the church.

The stained glass is very beautiful. Strict and peaceful space

An absolutely gorgeous church! I went inside and was wowed by the decorations on the inside. The ceiling was decorated in thousands of paper cranes and the lighting really made the interior look magical!

Beautiful, serene sanctuary with lovely vocal performances at most services.

They currently have a beautiful ribbon installation, which I love.

Incredibly magical place! Beautiful architecture, and they hold fantastic events and performances. Truly on the forefront of SF community connectivity

Grace Cathedral is another gem in San Francisco is located on Nob Hill and is breathtaking. When we visited this magnificent Cathedral, it was undergoing some renovations, but what we seen was enough to make us want to come back. While limited we were able to take a few worthwhile pictures to share. We wanted to enjoy the labyrinths but ran out of time and can not wait to return to explore and enjoy their meditative quality's. Make sure you allow enough time to take in all of this magnificent church.

Amazing place to meditate. Labyrinth was powerful full of energy

Visiting this cathedral uplifts my spiritual consciousness. Let's explore the kingdom within us!

Beautiful, meditative space. Surprised but happy to find the 9:00 prayer service!

There were people who made the yooogaaa too cool (and funny) but the church is beautiful and everything

So much going on with this church. I think I need a day here to really see it all. Beautiful church for photography.

Very beautiful cathedral in the Nob Hill district. Worth a detour for those interested. Easily accessible thanks to the cable car line which runs right next to it.

So beautiful.. Share a picnic with your family with this view!

There are two labyrinths here. One inside and one outside. Beautiful church.

Has a copy of Chartes Labyrinth inside. 3-D golden bible reinactments on the doors. Foggy & nice most of the time.

A truly stunning Cathedral. Got the chance to see it lit up at night and it was beautiful. Walk around and see it from all angles if you can.

Awesome place with architecture, but the best is The Boy Choir, the best in California

Makes for a striking sight after climbing Nob Hill.

Episcopal Cathedral, when I went I had Yoga class and then Meditation! Wonderful experience !!!

Advent service was amazing. Choir were fantastic. Hats off to Director of Music and the whole choir. We attended the service as visitors from Bangor Abbey in Northern Ireland where we sing in the choir and were blown away. Beautiful building too.

For me, this is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on earth.

Really interesting architecture. They do free tours of the cathedral. The person that did ours was very knowledgeable and he had lot of super cool facts to share. The doors of the cathedral are a cast of the doors from the duomo in Florence.

Nice architecture cathedral. This specific cathedral is so beautiful inside and outside. I got many good things from this cathedral. Thank God for making me find this cathedral.

Beautiful cathedral, concrete replica of Notre Dame de Paris! Keith Haring's triptych is worth a look

A Gothic cathedral in raw concrete!
To see by the way for the curiosity.

Beauty to watch the lights brighten as the sky dims

Very few places in America can recall the beauty and grace of a gothic European cathedral. This is one of those places. Whether you come here to be engaged in intense prayer like some, or just to marvel at the intense beauty this place is a must for anyone in San Francisco.

I was struck by the fact that it is concrete, even if from a distance it looks like stone, and above all by the copy of the Porta del Paradiso.

The cathedral was spectacular and the labrinth was fun to walk. The ladder art was interesting especially when viewed at the alter area. The stained glass was exceptional and the classic ceiling height opened you up the spiritual possibilities. You will enjoy the experience.

One of must visit place in San Fran. Located north west from Union square, 30 min walk up the hill. This is a beautiful cathedral. Went Saturday when there s live piano playing. Very peaceful.
Designed in French Gothic style by Lewis P. Hobart, it was completed in 1964 as the third largest Episcopal cathedral in the nation. On March 28, 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a sermon at Grace Cathedral as part of the festival celebrating its completion and consecration.



There are two large "music" light hanging on either side - it lighten up while music is playing. really beautiful.

Generous people and beautiful open space. Amazing Sound Meditation at Grace

It is great coming here and seeing this place, i love the architecture and also the history behind this church. I recomend swings by and taking a look.

Until just last week I have never been inside Grace Cathedral. I am going to return soon to photograph it properly and drink in the delicious quiet and serenity.

It is a very solemn atmosphere.
When you visit San Francisco, please go.

Karma Moffet singing bowls and labrynth walk - last two photos.

Stunningly Beautiful !!!, The Jaw dropping Stain Glass Windows & Century Old Cathedral Has the Old World , Viking Type of
Romance about it. The Architecture is Simply Breath Taking and The Clergy & Attendants are So Nice & Friendly . Here YOU can Really See , Feel and " Experience " The TRUE Glory of " GOD "!!!.

Great acoustics, great choir, somewhat chilly and gothic. Like the meditation circular walk outside.

Very GRACEful architecture. Exactly what you expect from a grand cathedral. Despite being on a loud street corner, it is very peaceful to visit this place. Very nice location with a view from the hill top.

Quiet, peaceful and open to all! Much appreciated this moment.

Grace Cathedral is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. They offer free yoga to the community on Tuesdays at 6 PM. The ambiance is absolutely incredible - live music, beautiful stained glass and art, and assistants that come around to do hands on adjustments. It was such a welcoming group amazing experience.

Wow, just awesome. The history of this beautiful Cathedral.

Attended Sunday service with baptisms, it was a beautiful experience. Any Episcopalian visiting SF should take time to visit Grace and attend a service, walk one or both of the labyrinths, just be in this sacred space.

Gorgeous Church on Nob Hill. It reminded me of Notre Dame in Paris and later I found out they both belonged to the same French Gothic style. It s Ghiberti doors are exquisite - replicas of the doors of the Florence Baptistery

Beautiful cathedral... peaceful and good architecture to enjoy!

A place majestic and quietly wrapped. A large, finely made stained glass is worth seeing. Everything was beautiful. Let's join us by donate $ 10.

It is a beautiful place with very fascinating architecture. Great place to take photos.

While in San Francisco for a meeting, my family and I took the car tour following the numbered signs. What a treat! On Sunday we attended worship together at Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill. We participated in Holy Communion which has an indelible on our lives.

Very beautiful and imposing, the stained glass windows are beautiful, and it is a must to watch the religious ceremony, because the touch of the organs is stunning

Beautiful 20th century gothic concrete and steel cathedral

An amazing church built in the 60s of the 20th century: unusual images on the stained glass windows, ministers of diverse sexual orientation. For example, on one of the upper stained glass windows the formula e = mc2

Majestic! Beautiful place to visit while in San Francisco.
