8 Observation Decks & Towers in San Francisco That You Shouldn't Miss
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

Between the sleek architecture, rooftop garden and access to most of the transit I need on my visits, this has become a favor spot of mine. Part of me misses the old Transbay Terminal and the green streetcars, but this is a much needed improvement. And the best part is that my bus from SFO stops a short walk from the bus I take to my hotel in the Richmond.
