Whenever you feel you need some time for yourself, whenever you wish to relax and be one with nature, we invite you to take a walk in the Golden Gate Park. Larger than the Central Park in New York, the Golden Gate Park is a miracle in itself. The sandy dunes have turned into more than one million trees with the help of John McLaren. It took him less than 20 years to transform a desert area into an oasis for thousands of residents and visitors. By 1890, the park had already taken shape.

The first buildings in the Golden Gate Park came with the carnival and expo the Midwinter Fair and showcased exotic atmosphere on the Cairo Street, the Eskimo Habitat and the Japanese Village.

Nowadays, the Golden Gate Park covers 1,013 acres and houses the Conservatory of Flowers, the Strybing Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, the M. H. de Young Museum, the Japanese Tea Garden, a golf course, lawn bowling, nine lakes, a lily pond, cascades, fly casting pools, the Strawberry Hill and many other things you’ll definitely fall in love with, as we did.
