Enjoy a 360 virtual tour of Palace of Fine Arts with beautiful architecture, reflective lagoon it’s a great place to escape the hustle & bustle of the city.
After walking around the Golden Gate Bridge, we decided to check out Palace of Fine Arts as it’s one of the city’s most photographed sights featured in numerous film and TV productions and as soon as you get near it you can see why.
From the distance we could see a bride and groom having their pictures taken, turns out It’s also a popular wedding location. Once you’re inside, the huge tall walls swamp you into another world, the stunning architecture creating an amazing backdrop. This is obviously why it’s a great place to have your wedding photos.
The rotunda proved a great place for a some tiny planet photography.
With the beautiful architecture and reflective lagoon, made it to be a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Its worth the stop off just to take a leisurely stroll around, relax under the rotunda or even enjoy a picnic on the grass and watch the swans drift across the peaceful lagoon. I would of liked to have seen it lit up at night, but unfortunately we didn’t have the time to return.
