Downtown San Rafael
Downtown San Rafael mixes California history and modern fun in a walkable package. The Mission San Rafael Arcángel anchors the historic district, where Victorian buildings line Fourth Street. Catch an indie film at the Rafael Film Center or browse the galleries at Art Works Downtown. Thursday nights come alive with a buzzing farmers market that fills streets with music and local flavors.

Most shops and eateries cluster along Fourth Street, making exploration easy on foot. Golden Gate Transit buses connect downtown to San Francisco, while nearby parking lots accommodate drivers venturing into this charming Marin County hub.

The historic neighborhood's tree-lined streets invite leisurely strolls past ornate woodwork, colorful paint schemes, and charming front porches. Its namesake park features heritage trees and peaceful walking paths that provide a welcome escape from urban bustle. Downtown San Rafael's restaurants and shops are just a 10-minute walk away.

Learn more about San Rafael
Fourth Street buzzes with life as the heart of downtown, where locals debate which farm-to-table restaurant deserves their loyalty this week. Mission San Rafael Arcángel offers a peaceful glimpse into California's Spanish colonial past, while the futuristic curves of the Marin County Civic Center showcase Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural genius. China Camp State Park rewards hikers with Bay views that explain why residents tolerate the cost of living here. The weekly farmers' market transforms into an impromptu community gathering, with musicians performing between stalls of organic produce. Don't miss the annual Italian Street Painting Festival, when Fourth Street becomes a temporary gallery of chalk masterpieces that wash away with the first rain.
