Our
area of the Presidio is served by San Francisco
MUNI
bus routes.
29
(Sunset): As you reach the main post of the Presidio,
ask the driver to let you off at the corner of Graham
and Sheridan. Walk west from there along Sheridan
(towards the row of red brick buildings), cross Montgomery
and Taylor, and Building 116 will be on your right.
43
(Masonic): Get off at Letterman Hospital.
82X
(Levi’s Plaza express) (rush-hour service to the
CalTrain station: Get off at the Main Post (Lincoln Boulevard
at Montgomery). Walk down Montgomery (with the row
of red brick buildings on your right) to Sheridan.
Turn right onto Sheridan, cross Taylor Road, and Building
116 will be on your right.
The
41
(Union) and
45
(Union-Stockton): These buses serve downtown and
drop you off at Lyon and Union streets, just a few
blocks south of the Presidio’s Lombard gate.
It’s about a 15-minute walk from the Lombard gate
or Letterman Hospital to us in Building 116. (See
the map).
From
the Mission or Castro districts, take the
33
(Stanyan) to Haight Street, cross the street,
and then board a
43
(Masonic) headed the other direction (east —
the bus turns north onto Masonic).
From
the south bay on CalTrain:
The 45
Union and (at rush hour only) the
82X
provide good connections from the
4th
and King station.
From
BART,
get off at
Powell
Street station and take the
45
Union bus heading north up Stockton (Stockton
is parallel to and one block east of Powell).
From
the North Bay
Take
highway 101 south across the Golden Gate Bridge.
From
the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza continue on 101
and follow the signs for 101/Downtown and 101/Presidio
for 1.5 miles.
Highway
101 (which becomes Doyle Drive) splits into Marina
(to the left) and Downtown/Lombard (to the right).
Veer to the right toward Downtown/Lombard.
From the Marina/Lombard split,
follow 101/Doyle Drive to Downtown/Lombard for
1/2 mile. Get into the right hand lane and turn
right onto Lombard as most of the road turns left
to follow 101 South on Lombard.
Continue two blocks to Lyon and the gates to the
Presidio
(the Lombard gate)
will be immediately in front of you.
From
the East Bay
Take
Interstate 80 west over the Bay Bridge.
After
passing the Fremont Street exit (the first exit off
of the Bay Bridge), continue 1 1/4 miles to highway
101 north/Golden Gate Bridge.
Follow
that turnoff and continue on Highway 101 1/4 mile
to the Mission Street/101 north/Golden Gate Bridge
exit. After exiting, turn right onto Mission Street.
Continue two blocks to Van Ness.
Turn
left onto Van Ness/101 north. Continue 2 miles to
Lombard Street.
Turn
left onto Lombard Street and proceed one mile to Broderick.
Immediately following the intersection of Lombard
and Broderick get in the left-hand turn lane (there
will be signs to the Presidio).
Turn
left onto Lombard Street (you will be turning left
onto Lombard as the Lombard you turned off
of becomes Richardson, after the Broderick intersection
traffic signal). Continue two blocks to Lyon and the
gates to the Presidio will be immediately in front
of you.
Continue
through the Lombard gate
into the Presidio.
From
the South Bay via Highway 280
Take
Interstate 280 north to San Francisco
When
Interstate 280 splits into Route 1 and 280, veer left,
onto Highway 1 (19th Avenue).
Follow
Highway 1 (19th Avenue) north across San Francisco.
After you emerge from the tunnel, take the exit on
the right (rather than following Highway 1 north as
it merges onto 101 north, which feeds to the Golden
Gate Bridge). This puts you one what is nominally
101 south (although you are in fact heading east).
The
Presidio is on your right and the Exploratorium/Palace
of Fine Arts is dead ahead. Follow 101 south toward
Lombard Street (that is, don’t take the left-hand
exit for the Marina).
From the Marina/Lombard split,
follow 101/Doyle Drive to Downtown/Lombard for
1/2 mile. Get into the right hand lane and turn
right onto Lombard as most of the road turns left
to follow 101 South on Lombard.
Continue two blocks to Lyon and the gates to the
Presidio
(the Lombard gate)
will be immediately in front of you.
From
the South Bay via Highway 101
When
Highway 101 splits into the Highway 80/Bay Bridge
and Highway 101/Golden Gate Bridge approaches, veer
left, onto Highway 101.
Follow
the 101 north/Golden Gate Bridge turnoff and continue
1/4 mile to the Mission Street/101 north/Golden Gate
Bridge exit. After exiting, turn right onto Mission
Street. Continue two blocks to Van Ness.
Turn
left onto Van Ness Avenue/101 north. Continue north
for 2 miles to Lombard Street.
Turn
left onto Lombard Street and continue 1 mile to Broderick.
Immediately after the intersection of Lombard and
Broderick, get in the left-hand turn lane (there will
be signs to the Presidio).
Turn
left onto Lombard (you will be turning left onto
Lombard as the Lombard you turned off of
becomes Richardson, after the Broderick intersection
traffic signal). Continue two blocks to Lyon Street
and continue through the Lombard
gate (immediately in front of you) into the Presidio.
Once
you’ve reached the Lombard gate
at the Presidio...
Take
Lombard Street into the Presidio until it ends at
Presidio Boulevard. Bear right. After one block, Presidio
Boulevard takes a sharp left and turns into Lincoln
Boulevard. Continue along Lincoln until you hit the
main post (after you pass the fire station and post
office). Turn left onto Montgomery, where there will
be a row of huge red brick buildings on your right
and a huge parking lot on your left. The first cross
street after these buildings is Sheridan Avenue. Turn
right and go one block, crossing Taylor Road. The
off-white building on your right is Building 116.
Bike and car parking are behind the building in the
lot along Taylor Road (see the
detailed
map of our neighborhood).
