This building is an active business building that does not allow visitors to ascend for the view. Iconic landmark and that's it! More

I believe at some point in its history the Transamerica Building allowed visitors to go to a view area. While it's a neat building to look at and take pictures of, there is not much do see or do there aside from looking at the scale model in the lobby. More

You can see it all over the bay area and it is truly unique and impressive. It was even more iteresting to hear the story of how it they designed and contructed it which we heard on our tour. Also interesting to know is that it and much of Downtown would have been in the Bay in 1850's San Francisco. More

It had just been built when I arrived in San Francisco back in the Early Seventies. I can't say it is a Tourist spot, but there is no mistaking the SF Skyline when you are coming over the Bay Bridge at night! More

No other city has one. Just to look at. A park with redwood trees in it at the base. More

The Transamerica Pyramid stands out among all the buildings in downtown San Francisco. It's a beautiful building! More

Didnt go inside but admired the shape of this beautiful building....a real SF icon. More

We were very fortunate to go on an escorted tour up to the observation deck of this fine building. Wow. Very, very impressive with excellent panoramic views of San Francisco, Alcatraz and Oakland. Brilliant. More

Just a note: the little park is open only week days, no weekends or holidays. No tables so bring lunch sack or finger food. It took us 3 years of visits to find it open. But it is a charmer amidst the high rise Financial District buildings. More
