Directions and Parking

The War Memorial Opera House (301 Van Ness Avenue) and Diane B. Wilsey Center for Opera at the Veterans Building (401 Van Ness Avenue) are located in the vibrant Civic Center/Hayes Valley district between Fulton and Grove Streets.

Construction on Van Ness Avenue may impact travel time and bus lines 47, 49 and 90. Allow for extra time when getting to the Opera House.

WHERE TO PARK

We recommend the Civic Center Plaza Garage, which is the largest parking garage in the area. It is within 2 blocks of the Opera House and offers elevators to street level.
