Two views of the San Francisco skyline from the Bay Bridge. The second includes the Ferry Building.

This is the former Hibernia Bank, now used as a task force headquarters for the SFPD,
located at 1 Jones Street at McAllister and Market.

This is the view back down Market Street towards the
Ferry Building. The white building on the far left is where the interview in Interview With the Vampire occurred.

Two more views from the Hibernia Bank in Downtown San Francisco.

This is the Golden Gate Fields racetrack in Albany, just north of the Berkeley border, west of Hwy 80.

This heist scene was filmed at Post and Grant Streets, east of Union Square.
Shreve & Company is located at 200 Post Street.

Here on Grant Street, at the beginning of the car chase, check out the movie poster in the J.C. Decaux booth — it's for The Rock, another film by a Disney company.

The Chinatown Gates are at Bush and Grant Streets.

I think this is south on Walter U. Lum, looking towards Clay. Portsmouth Square is on the left.

Possibly northbound on Laguna near Sacramento.

Corner of Taylor and Pacific Streets.

Grace Cathedral, 1100 California Street at Jones.

In real-life, south of Washington Street, the only road where the cable cars run north-south like this is Powell Street.
Most of these stunt shots were thus done on fake track laid down on Mason, Taylor, and Jones.
Some of the cable-car interiors were done on stages set up at Mare Island, Vallejo.

This is the first block of Mason Street at Turk and Market.
The Ambassador Hotel is located at 55 Mason.

Looking towards Broadway from the 200-block of Columbus.

Postrio Restaurant, 545 Post Street at Mason.

Ronnie Tate (Carmen Ejogo)'s apartment,
somewhere on Russian Hill.

The big action finale was filmed on Mare Island in Vallejo.

For the final Tahiti scenes, the establishing shot is simply stock-footage of Bora Bora,
while the rest of the scene was shot in Half Moon Bay, CA.
