San Francisco City Views
Where to see some of the best views the city offers
San Francisco is known for its iconic views. While many of these beautiful views are world-famous, there are many more that are overlooked. The city is 7 x 7 miles, in this compact space, there are numerous views for everyone.
Most of the places I mention here are outdoors, anytime you are in San Francisco, it’s best to wear layers. Some neighborhoods are warm, but many are chilly and foggy.
There’s a reason why Fisherman’s Wharf makes a fortune selling hoodies to tourists who only pack shorts and t-shirts!
Fort Point
Get a unique ground view of The Golden Gate Bridge, from Fort Point. This historic fort sits at sea level under the base of the bridge.
Watch as boats and kayakers navigate the bay, hear cars traveling overhead, as you take in the breathtaking view of this massive, brilliantly colored San Francisco landmark.
The fort itself is interesting to view.
