UN Plaza is a public square at 355 McAllister St in San Francisco’s Civic Center, with a direct connection to Civic Center Station. Chess tables, fitness courts, foosball, ping-pong and a small skate park give you more to do than simply cross the plaza. Look for the art displays and statue, and take in views of City Hall and the surrounding architecture. The site is associated with the formation of the United Nations Charter. Seating is scarce, so plan this as a stop to explore rather than a place to settle in.
