Fans of rock won't want to miss this historic townhouse in the heart of the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. This is where the legendary rock band, Grateful Dead, called their home between 1966 and 1968. While the house is privately owned and cannot be entered, you can try to imagine the wild parties and iconic tunes that were composed within its walls. Don't forget to snap a photo from the outside, too. While in the birthplace of counterculture, don’t miss the offbeat shops lining Haight Street (including countless thrift shops) and stay around to catch some live music in the area’s funky clubs—best explored on a hippie culture tour. – Tripadvisor
