San Francisco is a city of hills, and therefor views abound. There are also several buildings with excellent views. And unlike Manhatten, which is flat and indugling in a view can cost up to $79 most of our views are free. Sure, there are places where you might be charged at little (Coit Tower–$10 for non-residents), or need to buy a drink (the Top of the Mark and other rooftop bars), but the best views don’t cost you a dime.
Here are the 5 best free views in San Francisco.
- A hidden gem in Golden Gate Park. The Observation Deck in the DeYoung Museum
- A downtown rooftop that you might have all to yourself. 343 Sansome Street.
- Beautiful steps, beautiful view. 16th Ave Tiled Steps
- If you’re at the 16th Ave Steps, go a little higher for a panoramic city view. Grand View Park
- A view just above Golden Gate park that even most locals don’t know about. 400 Parnassus
San Francisco has no shortage of views, but these will get you started.
More to come.
