Take a look around

Walk the lagoon loop
The paths around the water provide changing views of the rotunda and colonnades. It is an easy stop to pair with a nearby Marina or Presidio destination.
02
Plan event photography carefully
The Palace is a popular photo and event location with separate rules for organized activity. Check current park guidance before arranging a ceremony, commercial shoot, or reserved use.
Getting there & back
Give the ride a place in your plans.
A private ride can connect the Palace with the Presidio, Marina, or a hotel. Share the exact address and any later stop; event permits and photography arrangements are handled separately.
Review the exact destination and return plan when requesting your quote. Transportation does not include event tickets, admission or venue reservations.
