There is so much to appreciate about Grace Cathedral. It s a magnificent place of peace and beauty. In addition to spiritual nourishment, I enjoyed yoga, indoor and outdoor labyrinth walks, Jacob s Dream: A Luminous Path, created by Benjamin Bergery and Jim Campbell, and art installation, Les Colombes by Michael Pendry. I visited nearly every day during my SF visit. So much goodness.

Not a fan of organized religion or religion at all for that matter. Just to stop and see an amazing building this was worth seeing. The church has a very interesting history of supporting minority populations. They were early supporters of civil rights and gay rights. They were worked with communities during the early days of Aids in the 1980s it is a very interesting place plus it is very easy to take amazing pictures here.

Beautiful cathedral that has a museum feel. You can spend easily an hour here reading all of the plaques around the inside. Free to enter with a small donation if you wish. A must visit in San Francisco.

Very cool building, beautiful construction. Ironic to be right across the street from a Freemason Grand Lodge given the contentious historical relation between the church and freemasonry, but, both were very cool buildings to see after the long hike up Nob Hill.

Only been here for the yoga in the labyrinth on Tuesdays from 6:15-7:30. Its a wonderful experience, although it can be hard to follow the flow as its hard to hear/understand what is being said. I'd advise to be there early to find a spot if more than one.

Great worship today at 11am. The extended service felt very traditional in many ways. The coffee hour was very welcoming for serving such a large congregation. I was able to catch a tour right after coffee hour where I learned a lot about the church and art within it. The only things about the service I would have liked to see changed were the less traditional lords prayer, post communion prayer, and that they did not use the traditional 4 bell for the moments after "do this in remembrance of me." It seemed like an extended traditional service with less traditional rites being used.

So much fun. Live music, great peeps, fun practice in a massive space. Bring something warm to wear.

Awesome cathedral, an architectural wonder. There is a neat LED light sculpture in the building. I am not religious, but love the architecture of old churches, cathedrals and basilicas. A nice quiet place to escape the craziness of San Francisco for a brief time.

Unbelievable. The architecture, first of all, was truly exceptional, especially for how long ago it was built. I was amazed by the variety if beautiful artwork, ranging from murals, to sculptures to tapestries. Singing in it was fantastic, and an experience I will always remember.

Very interesting because I was going to see the door of the church, which is a replica of the original of the Baptistery of San Juan in Florence. The 10 Bible passages depicted in relief are wonderful. The church inside is nothing special.

Serene and beautiful location. The stain glass on the church is a master piece. It's centrally located and lovely place to visit. There is a labyrinth which is a nice thing to just walk to feel peaceful.

Really great and famous cathedral with unforgettable vibe. You can go inside without guide and also without fee. But if you want, you can pay a voluntary fee by your card.
The inside looked amazing and there was also some modern elements like animation projection.
This place should be definitely on your "places to visit in SF".

Interesting place It is necessary to dedicate time to explore, beautiful Gothic architecture, many details that attract attention, the Ghiberti doors, the stained glass windows of scientists, the labyrinths of the floor to meditate, etc. and not to miss of anything read before visiting

Grace Cathedral is an enormous, beautiful Cathedral, nicely located on one of San Fransisco's several heights. The walls are covered with murals telling the story of San Fransisco. Between the murals are wood carvings for the Via Dolorosa meditation. The Church has great accoustics, and is often used for larger concerts. There is also an AIDS Interfaith Memorial chapel with a stunning triptych by Keith Haring. A wonderful, spiritual place.
