Quite a few Edwardian houses, which are younger than the Victorians, are also found around town. While it&#8217;s always a pleasure to view them from the exterior as you ride around the city, some are actually open as businesses or for organized tours, allowing you to savor them from within.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/5-best-san-francisco-day-trips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> The 5 best day trips from San Francisco<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48974\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48974\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Mrs_doubtfire_house_San-Francisco.jpg\" alt=\"mrs_doubtfire_house_san-francisco\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Mrs_doubtfire_house_San-Francisco.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Mrs_doubtfire_house_San-Francisco-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Mrs_doubtfire_house_San-Francisco-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Mrs_doubtfire_house_San-Francisco-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Mrs_doubtfire_house_San-Francisco-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48974\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Home from the film Mrs. Doubtfire, San Francisco<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>1. Take a guided walking tour<br \/>\n<\/strong>Informative <strong>City Guides <\/strong>tours sponsored by the San Francisco Public Library are free, last about 1\u00bd hours and cover areas all over the city. The Billionaire\u2019s Row tour includes exterior viewing of a Victorian firehouse that is now a private residence, and the Victorian San Francisco tour of the Lafayette Square neighborhood (around Pacific Heights) includes fabulous views.<\/p>\n<p>A private 2\u00bd-hour <strong>Victorian Home Walk<\/strong> tour departs from Union Square via an escorted ride on a city bus. The tour, which takes visitors through the posh Pacific Heights neighborhood, begins with an interior viewing of a Queen Anne B&amp;B, includes an exterior viewing of the \u201cMrs. Doubtfire\u201d Queen Anne and ends on Victorian-lined Union Street in Cow Hollow\u2014the perfect spot for lunch and shopping. Along the way you\u2019ll learn the differences between the three Victorian house styles: Italianate, Stick and Queen Anne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/rewards\/?mcicid=blog.orbitz.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ALSO:<\/strong> See for yourself\u2014Orbitz Rewards gets you free hotels faster!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Dine and shop in repurposed houses<\/strong><br \/>\nUnion Street is loaded with upscale boutiques and trendy dining options housed within repurposed Victorians. You can spend many enjoyable hours browsing here, but of particular interest are the clusters of shops and restaurants found in the <strong>Cudworth Mansion <\/strong>farmhouse at #2040 and in the <strong>Twin Wedding Houses<\/strong> at #1980. For lunch, consider the <strong>Palm House <\/strong>at #2032, which was originally the dairy barn for the Cudworth Mansion next door. It&#8217;s named for the more-than-150-year-old Canary Island palm that the front of the restaurant wraps around (planted in 1867, it is Union Street\u2019s second-oldest and one of San Francisco\u2019s tallest Canary Island palms). Or perhaps small and cozy <strong>Rose&#8217;s Cafe<\/strong> at #2298, which is within a 1909 Edwardian building, known for its house-baked goods, and reputedly a favorite of writer Danielle Steel\u2019s.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48975\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48975\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48975\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/McElroy_Octagon_House_San_Francisco_2.jpg\" alt=\"octagon house, san francisco\" width=\"800\" height=\"726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/McElroy_Octagon_House_San_Francisco_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/McElroy_Octagon_House_San_Francisco_2-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/McElroy_Octagon_House_San_Francisco_2-768x697.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/McElroy_Octagon_House_San_Francisco_2-600x545.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/McElroy_Octagon_House_San_Francisco_2-400x363.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Sanfranman59 \/ WikiMedia<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>3.
