Want to get the best view? Head there just before sunset when you can capture a truly beautiful memory.
Coit Tower
One of San Fran’s most iconic landmarks, the Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill is also one of the best viewpoints in the city. During the day, tourists can go up the tower where they’ll be able to experience panoramic views of the bay and skyline. Even the base point of the tower is perfect for viewing the surrounding areas. Couples will enjoy the tower at night as it is lit up with coloured lights and you can see the illumination from the skyline.
Buena Vista Park
If you are seeking panoramic views of the whole city, you certainly won’t be disappointed with a visit to Buena Vista Park. Here you can get a unique perspective of the city from different viewing points and head on a winding trail whilst you’re at it! For hikers and adventurers, there’s nothing more rewarding than a great view after all that hard work; Buena Vista Park doubles up as the perfect spot for both.
Fort Mason
Look no further than heading to Fort Mason to get stunning views of the bay which you might not have seen from the Fisherman’s Wharf area and Pier 39. You may need to climb a cliff or two to get here but you won’t be disappointed once you have done so.
