Standing over 900 feet above the city, these two hills offer hikers sweeping views of San Francisco's main sights (we recommend going at sunset).

Great place to get a view over San Francisco on a clear day. Very easy to get to by public transportation. Just take the F streetcar to the last stop (17th & Castro), then cross the street to take Bus 37 to 74 Crestline Drive. All the tourists and skateboarders will get off here. It's a very short but steep hike up. I went to Noe Peak first (which had less people), then Christmas Tree Point. I think you can only see the Golden Gate Bridge (through the fog) from Noe Peak. Very windy at the top and lots of crows. If you take the bus back, you can get on at the same stop. The bus will then take a break at the last stop before going back to the Castro.

We were so lucky, on our last day in SF we got to go to Twin Peaks and the weather was perfect! No fog just clear skies and beautiful views of the entire city. It’s FREE, no need to pay for a tour. Just drive up there and enjoy the lovely views!

Twin Peaks are the tourist attractions spot and situated in the western part of the city San Francisco. Two peaks are adjacent to each other. One can view the entire San Francisco city from the top of peak. Few steps are to be climbed to reach the top.

For us this is where we met SF for a first time this time. This point gives you overview of the city and the Bay Area.
You have basically 360 degree view of everything happening here. Perfect spot to start a journey into San Francisco’s streets.

Even on a “rainy” weekend, the views were still worth it. We climbed up one of the peaks - it has stairs which does help. I can imagine during summer or high tourist times it would be nearly impossible to park.

Guess what? You can go up to Twin Peaks using public transport. We did! We took the Muni 37 and walked up the rather steep but picturesque wooden steps till we reached the road leading up to the Twin Peaks.themselves. We then walked up the Twin Peaks and yes, it was definitely worth the effort. We got amazing views of the City of San Francisco far below us. The weather was kind to us. It was a sunny morning and that helped!

It was a rainy and foggy day but still managed to catch some great views and pics here. The drive up to the peaks was fun with all the winding roads. Definitely worth a trip to see San Fran from up there!

We took a cab to Twin Peaks, but the top section was closed to cars. We ran up the hill about 30 yards and took pictures. Be careful! It was extremely windy and my friend felt a gust push her toward the edge of the hill. Hang on to small children. Good view of the city even half way up past the locked gate.

Drive (or walk) up to the observation area on the Twin Peaks overlooking the neighborhood below and off into the distance downtown and the boats in the bay. The panorama is breathtaking especially if the fog behaves. Free. An easy 20 minutes from downtown San Francisco.

Fantastic views of the city from here on a clear day. Very easy to get up by car as the road takes you all the way to the top. There are three peaks all 5 mins walk from each other so you can do all within 15-25 mins, thought the views are similar, particularly looking towards downtown.
