South of Market district or SoMa, is one of the liveliest and most colourful parts of San Francisco. This area is also home to many gay cultural spots, such as the LGBTQ and Leather Cultural District.
There's an enormous gay leather community here, and many gay bars such as The Stud (the US' oldest leather bar) and Powerhouse. In September, Folsom Street turns into huge street parties.
SoMa has something for everyone: the home of The Giants for sports fans, the San Francisco MoMA gallery for art lovers, and several upscale restaurants and nightclubs.
The Castro District is the heart of San Francisco's gay community in which you can discover Harvey Milk's inspiring mission to create a haven for LGBT people.
This spot is an absolute must-see when visiting San Francisco, and there's plenty to keep you entertained: the Castro Theatre, the US's first gay bar, the LGBT walk of fame and much, much more.
