About
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).

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.

Try and get up here when in SF. Get ti the top by car, park up and get out to see the views. Make sure it's a blue sky day otherwise you will just see mist and fog and it will be very damp. When the sky is blue the views are brilliant and you can see SF bay down towards the city with its landmarks eg the market place and across to the Pacific ocean. It can be a bit windy up there so make sure you wrap up.

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.

Best View of San Francisco Downtown & Sunset is Amazing. We had been traveling all day just happened to be in the area and saw sighs for Twin Peaks, we enjoyed you wouldn’t believe. The best place to capture the Downtown San Francisco and the Sunset is something you can’t miss.

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!

It's a very short drive up and there's a small parking lot at the top. Amazing views of downtown San Francisco. A lot of people are there taking photos. Since people are only there for 20-30 mins, you can usually find a parking spot. Definitely worth the drive up.

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.

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.

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.
