What to do and see in San Francisco, California (CA): The Best Lookouts
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.

One of San Francisco's unique neighborhoods, walk to the top, visit Coit Tower for the murals, and then descend the Filbert Steps. Linger to view the unique architecture and views all the way.

A twenty-minute ride from downtown, this is the best place to catch a San Francisco sunrise.

This is a must do. While its a bit of a drive, the views from this area are spectacular. It gets pretty crowded so plan on parking below and walking up (which isn't that bad of a hike). Wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket as it gets really cold and windy.

If you want to take a panorama of the bridge and the city, this is the spot. It’s also a fishing spot so make sure you don’t wear your fancy heels or shoes walking around.

Tucked away from the tour buses, this spot rewarded us with stunning views of the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge as the clouds rolled away. It was quite windy, but was well worth the time spent on our drive through.

I happened to walk to this park while in San Fransisco this time. The park has a lot of ways to climb up to the top. The area on the top is a good place to meditate. The view is blocked because of the trees but you still get a good view. When you get down, you can go to the Height street where there are a lot of restaurants and shops.
8. Billy Goat Hill Park
9. Inspiration Point at the Presidio
10. Immigrant Point Overlook
