Coit Tower

Such a great view! The staff was super friendly and outgoing. They all had excellent customer service. It’s only $ 8 for the elevator ride up and there is a decent wait time, but it’s so worth it. If your in San Francisco you need to check this out.

Great views of San Francisco, completely free of charge.
This is worth a visit for anyone in the area. It’s relatively easy to get to by car, it has free parking (which is pretty tough to find at other places in the city) and if you just want to see the views, you don’t have to pay a dime. If you actually want to go up in the tower, there’s a fee, but I think most people will agree with me that it’s not really necessary.

Awesome! Loved it. Soooo glad we got up early to check it out. Luckily we got there around 9:30 (didn’t even know they opened at 10). We found parking right away. Had to wait a little bit but we were in the first elevator up after we bought our tickets. (Only $ 8 for adults) The view was spectacular. The sky was particularly clear so we really did luck out. The gift shop had lots of great souvenirs, and the mural inside were beautiful. Everyone that was working was super friendly. Overall great experience. ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

Explore every nearby staircase outside and definitely take the elevator to the top inside the tower to see some amazing views of San Francisco that you won’t get anywhere else. Also, make sure you really take time to inspect the murals downstairs. They’re super detailed and excellent.
Pro-​tip: If you’re an SF local, you get a discount for the tower elevator.

Came here on Christmas Eve 2015… amazing view BTW! Had no intent on coming here but getting lost will help you find the best spots!
Been living in the Bay all my life and have seen this tower a million times but never have ever been up to see the view! If you are this same type of person GPS it and roll up night! Super chill people out laughing, Bob Marley playing and the faint smell of Dro made me feel some type of way! Great panoramic view from the Bay bridge to Ghirardelli square and beyond!

The bf and I went yesterday after checking out pier 39 and the Bay aquarium. As we were driving, I pointed out the tower to him as you can see it prominently and he didn’t know what it was. Though he is the native, he hates driving in the city.
We went in the early afternoon on a Monday so thankfully, we didn’t get a large crowd. The road up was a bit windy and quite steep. Warmer months probably have a lot more pedestrians. Since we were tired from earlier activities and it is January, we didn’t trek the steps to find the parrots. SF is steep and I think those steps are a vertical climb.
We were able to find parking at the top and going into the tower, waiting at the ticket line, and waiting at the elevator were not that bad. about 5 min wait time each. If you spend the time looking at all the murals and reading about each one, it passes by quickly. $ 8 felt steep to get to just the top but when we got to the elevator and you can see how old inside walls of the elevator as it goes up, this thing needs a lot of upkeep to keep looking like the warm mural base.
Speaking of that elevator. It is so tiny and cannot keep up with the amount of people that pass through it. Same with the hallway at the top after you get off the elevator and go up some spiraled steps to the very top. DO NOT recommend for people who cannot handle breaches in personal space, small cramped areas, etc.
The view at the top was gorgeous. The crisp cold air with the clear sky and slightly setting sun was just jaw dropping, no-​filter, gorgeous. Pier 39 has views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate but this was a whole new level. It wiped the floor on the bf too, who had never been up here. We could see Oakland on the other side of the water, rush hour traffic toward San Mateo and Palo Alto, and feel the enormity of the bay area.
The gift shop is tiny and a bit run-​of-​the made in China. They had books about the person who bequeathed the money and of Telegraph hill from the local historical society which piqued my interest.
The trip was short. Not something to plan the whole day around but a nice tourist pit stop before or after Alcatraz, Pier 39, golden gate, tourist jazz.

What a climb, but what a view. This is one of the great spots in SF for getting way up and seeing everything all around. The monument itself is 210 feet tall and dates back to 1933 when it was built to beautify the city. The tower sits at the top of Telegraph Hill, the naming of which dates back to the days before radio when someone used to be up here to signal with a structure the nature of the ships entering the Golden Gate Harbor.
Well worth the visit, but consider just taking an Über to the top rather than climbing like a certain Unilocaler you know.

I would definitely recommend climbing the hill to get to Coit Tower. The views are amazing and it feels surreal to be surrounded by so many beautiful and exotic looking flowers in the middle of SF. Unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any of the famous parrots on our walk up.
I went with a friend during lunch hour on a weekday, so the crowds weren’t too bad. We reached the top of the hill and were able to picnic at one of the many benches with a view. The inside of the tower is very nice as well. The first floor is covered in various murals, so take the time to look around and enjoy the artwork.
The trip to the top is a $ 7 elevator ride and well worth the cost. The views from the top of Coit Tower are incredible. We came on a clear day, so all of San Francisco was visible. There are windows at the top of the tower, with two or three windows open so you can get a great shot of the city.

Saturday, 1:00 PM.
We had some friends visiting from abroad and Coit Tower was on their list.
Quickie:
+ Organized
+ Customer service
* Cleanliness
And then???
The walk from the East, up the hill, was part of the fun. We took a quick tour of the premise, checked out the art mural. We were in line for 15 minutes before catching the elevator to the top of the tower.
Coit Tower is cool but be sure to plan other activities before/​after the visit.

Definitely worth climbing the hill (we went up one side and down the other, both super views, quirky and interesting and lots of fun). The frescos from the Depression era are pretty impressive, and the view, of course, is spectacular. Of course, it’s packed with tourists so it’s not like you can stand there and soak it in for too long (at the top of the tower, that is) but worth it. The staff is entertaining, especially the singing wonder at the elevators. They have great old postcards in the gift shop, too.
I can’t emphasize enough that if you can, you should walk it. It’s a good workout, but so worth it and interesting stuff to see at every turn, plus magnificent views. Plus you get to watch all the poor saps stuck waiting hopelessly in cars for a parking spot. It’s like Machu Picchu – if you just drive up, you are missing the whole point.
SF is pretty lucky the good Mrs. Coit left the land for the creation of a park or it’d just be another high-​end condo on the hill.

This is one of San Francisco’s major landmarks and it definitely should be checked out once while you are in San Francisco. And when I mean once… I really mean it.
It pays homage to the working man of San Francisco, which is great because it was truly an effort to make this city the shining city upon a hill (s) that it is now. With that being said, here was my main problem with the landmark. It was too small for the amount of people that visit it. Literally, you wait in line for approximately and hour just to visit a space in the air for a duration of ¹⁄₁₀ of the wait time. This is because the tower is very small.
When you do get up there, the 360 view of the city is phenomenal. So you definitely need to see it once. After you do so, it’s not worth your time to see it again… unless you like waiting in long lines (in which case I would recommend visiting Disneyland).

I don’t know how everyone else feels about Lombard Street in San Francisco, but I tell you what, from it starting from the Presidio (and being a part of US 101) to the hills and the curves between Hyde and Leavenworth to the fact it dead ends into the Coit Tower, I would say it is a popular street.
I always wondered what that phallic looking tower resting on a hill, what it was, and how to get there. When I was going to Tower Laundromat, I saw signs, and then I did more research. I made it a point to make it today, to see what all it had to offer. I woke up at noon, and then the person I report to in town, told me I needed to come back to work for a few. I was kind of pissed, as I was hoping my day wasn’t going to get screwed.
Believe it or not, I was able to cross the Bay Bridge twice on a Friday afternoon easier than it was to cross at 0500 today. I went straight for the tower.
I followed the signs, and noticed you could park and walk up (which looks like you get great exercise and great views), take the bus (it looks like a bus «39» takes you up to the front door, believe it or not!), or park up at the top. I decided to drive up the hills and see where it took me.
On the drive, it was great seeing the houses lined up. I could tell this was old money and these shanties were NOT cheap. The drive itself was whimsical. Upon seeing the map view via Google, I noticed parking was limited. When I got up there, I saw there was a sign to wait until there is a spot. Thankfully, that was not the case. I was able to get a spot on a Friday afternoon, no issues!
Before even entering, you can just walk around. It is peaceful, and you have great views. When you are ready to enter the building, you are greeted by friendly employees (who wear blue shirts, FYI). Inside, there are a bunch of murals (do not touch!) while you can wait in line. But thankfully, I think the rest of SF was fighting rush hour traffic, while I got to take advantage of that. There were maybe 30 people around.
I took a quick glance at the murals, then found the «ticket booth» (which is also the gift shop cashier). It cost $ 8, and he stamped my hand. I proceeded to the elevator, and I was whisked right up. The elevator itself is 82 years old, but slightly modified. The guy manning it said to not touch anything, or they need to call the elevator company to get you out. So do not touch anything when going up and down, especially if you are claustrophobic!
The view up top is spectacular, getting 360 degree views of the whole city. While looking down, you can see how the hills are shaped and such and puts things into perspective. They have plexiglass on most of the «holes» but they have a few open for your viewing pleasure. It makes sense when you get up there.
After viewing all of the «windows» it is time to go down. There was an employee offering to take pics, so I told him what the hell, why not (another profile pic for Unilocal!). I told him I was from Denver, and he was very friendly.
The ride back down was minimal, and ended up in the gift shop. I stocked up on a few things (great postcards and such here!), and walked back around. I saw there was a bathroom inside, and went in. I loved how it was original, and you could tell it was true to Art Deco.
In places like NY or Chicago, you are easily paying double digits to get access for a view. This place is unique, loaded with history, and has a great «forest» feel to it. Learning about Lillie Hitchcock Coit is awesome too (the one who the tower is named for). This is probably one of my favorite viewing towers/​decks I have ever visited anywhere in the world. Not to be missed!

This historical landmark cracks me up, but I’ll get to that later. Coit Tower is rarely packed because it’s not directly accessible via public transportation. You still need to do some walking and climbing stairs to reach the tower. Once browsing the murals inside the building, you reach the top of the tower by an elevator regulated by two people — the tour guide who talks about Coit Tower history and lets people onto the elevator, and the other guy operating the elevator who makes lame small talk with all the tourists.
The views of San Francisco from the top of the tower are beautiful. One of the tour guides carefully warns visitors not to jump out of the open windows (thank you) and once you’re done making your rounds, you can return down the elevator.
My trip to Coit Tower was quite curious because my friend and I just got onto the elevator without having to show any proof of purchase. Then we realized that we were supposed to pay $ 8.00 to gain access to the elevator at all. HAHH OH WELL. There’s also a gift shop that you can wander around before continuing on your adventure through San Francisco. Coit Tower is a pretty brief stop but quite an enjoyable and relaxing one, especially on clear San Francisco days.

We got to see Coit Tower from the top deck of our cruise ship. We toured San Francisco along the Embarcadero and strolled around Fisherman’s Wharf. We just ran out of time to see the Tower. Our ship sailed at 4 so we had to see it from the ship. It was still a great view.

Coit Tower was completed in 1933, it’s shaped like a tall smoke stack or lighthouse, and it’s situated on the very top of scenic Telegraph Hill. I never even heard of this landmark when I arrived in San Francisco.
Once I entered the tower, there were some simple but beautifully painted historic paintings of San Francisco life back in the Great Depression which were displayed on the walls. Inside, it was quite dim and I believe the lighting used in the buildings was original, but there was an area with big French style windows that brought in some natural lighting. Washrooms were also available on the main floor.
In order to go to the top of the tower, you will need to take an elevator. It was an old small elevator take takes about 10 passengers. A Coit Tower staff controlled the elevator and it took about one minute to the top. Once I got off the elevator, I still had to take some stairs to get to the very top, so this attraction isn’t wheelchair friendly, but it only took about 10 seconds of stair climbing to get the viewing platform.
The views from the top were absolutely amazing, especially on a sunny day with blue skies! I had a 360 degree view of ocean and Downtown San Francisco. It didn’t feel stuffy at all as the roof was opened, so there was plenty of fresh air. Although there were plenty of glass windows, not every window could be opened, so there were some lineups to use the windows that could be opened, which are great for taking photos!
On the same day, while walking through the Fisherman’s Wharf, I noticed the Blue Angels F-​18s were performing and it flew about the same height as the Coit Tower, so it would be awesome to watch fighter jets performances on top of the tower too!
If you’re new to San Francisco, Coit Tower is a must!

Coit Tower aka the Lillian Coit Memorial tower was built in 1933 following Lillie Coit’s death. At her bequest, she gave a third of her fortune to the city of San Francisco for civic beautification. This is one of the monuments built in her honor. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as of 2008. It sort of looks like the nozzle of a fire hose, which is appropriate since Lillie Coit had an affinity for firefighters.
Sean C. and I took the 600 Filbert steps from the Levi campus up to Coit Tower. It was a workout as we ascended. We took a few short breaks in between but we made it to the top! The views of San Francisco from the tower are breathtaking and we did it on a day when it was clear. It costs $ 8 per person to take the tiny elevator up to the top of the tower but it is a reasonable price to pay for the upkeep of the monument. Keep backpacks on the front of your body as to not damage the murals or accidentally hit someone behind you as requested by the staff. There’s a statue of Christopher Columbus out in the parking lot which I thought was strange because Columbus never visited North America, let alone California. We enjoyed the 360 degree views of the city and made our decent. There’s a small park outside of the tower and it has plenty of benches for resting, reading, or just enjoying the outdoors.
There’s a Coit Tower MUNI (39) bus that will drive you up from Fisherman’s Wharf & North Beach, which we weren’t aware of, but we took it down the hill because we were tired from our workout. It’s only $ 2.25 for bus fare or if you had a MUNI Passport, it was included. We ended up in Fisherman’s Wharf and took a separate bus back to Union Square.

It’s a tough walk/​climb, but has beautiful views that I would say makes it worth the hike. Murals fill the inside and Christopher Columbus greets you in the parking lot. (Which I might add, might be completely irrelevant to the tower, but I’m no history expert, it was Columbus Day when we visited) The lines were too long for my husband and I to be able to go to the top, but just walking around the tower and getting different views and angles of the bay and piers were amazing enough for us.
I’m not going to lie, the tower itself isn’t as impressive as say other tourist sites, but the houses, gardens, and stairways leading to and from the tower were interesting. There were many places to sit and take in all the nature around it, and if I were in better shape I’d definitely come again! haha

We went around 10am on Saturday and there was no line and it wasn’t crowded so we had a lot of room and space on the top of coit tower to take nice pictures and really enjoy the view.
It’s only $ 8 for adults to go to the top and you get a really beautiful and unique view of San Francisco which is impossible to get anywhere else (besides a helicopter). The staff there is really friendly and know the answer to almost any question you have about this beautiful history rich tower.
I’d recommend this attraction to locals and tourists.

From down at the bottom of the hill, I looked up and thought, man. How many stairs are we talking about to reach the top of coit tower? So what felt like roughly 200 to 300 steps of stairs later, we made it.
Entering coit tower, we were greeted very friendly by two staff members who instructed us where we would by our tickets at $ 8USD. The bottom of the coit tower was decorated with paintings that were behind a rail so that people couldn’t touch it. No one was lining up when we bought our tickets and we were able to take the elevator without waiting.
Going up, we had to take a few more stairs after the elevator before we reached the top which had many windows, each with a different viewof San Francisco (the downtown city, the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge). When we went, there was plenty of space for us to view everything and the sun was just coming out after the morning fog slash clouds.
At the bottom of the coit tower, where you bought the tickets, there is a mini souvenir shop where you can purchase cute little cards, books, magnets and other merchandise. It took a while to pay because people were lining up on the other side to buy tickets and go up the elevator.

I came here with my two kids on a Saturday afternoon during the summer — BIG MISTAKE. There were SO MANY PEOPLE. Unfortunately, we didn’t go to the top because there was too long a line. We were able to «sneak in» and see the beautiful murals though. I really enjoyed the majestic views of the bay too.

From the website:
Coit Tower, a slender white concrete column rising from the top of Telegraph Hill, has been an emblem of San Francisco’s skyline since its completion in 1933, a welcoming beacon to visitors and residents alike. Its observation deck, reached by elevator (tickets can be purchased in the gift shop), provides 360-​degree views of the city and bay, including the Golden Gate and Bay bridges.
The simple fluted tower is named for Lillie Hitchcock Coit, a wealthy eccentric and patron of the city’s firefighters. Coit died in 1929, leaving a substantial bequest «for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city I have always loved.» The funds were used to build both the tower and a monument to Coit’s beloved volunteer firefighters, in nearby Washington Square. The tower was designed by the firm of Arthur Brown, Jr., architect of San Francisco’s City Hall. Contrary to popular belief, Coit Tower was not designed to resemble a firehose nozzle.
The murals inside the tower’s base were painted in 1934 by a group of artists employed by the Public Works of Art Project, a precursor to the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and depict life in California during the Depression. When violence broke out during the 1934 longshoremen’s strike, controversy over the radical content in some of the panels became quite heated. Some of the most controversial elements were painted over, and the tower was padlocked for several months before the frescoes were finally opened to the public in the fall of 1934.
Telegraph Hill takes its name from a semaphore telegraph erected on its summit in 1850 to alert residents to the arrival of ships. Pioneer Park, which surrounds Coit Tower, was established in 1876 on the former site of the telegraph station. As you wander the trails that wind around the tower and down the hill, you may hear the raucous chatter of the neighborhood’s most famous (and noisiest) residents, the flock of parrots featured in the 2005 film «The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.»

Built in 1933 with money left by Lille Hancock Coit to beautify the city after her death (in 1929), Coit Tower is a wonderful way to enjoy those great views of San Francisco.
Although I’ve been here numerous times over the years, I was really glad to finally see those panoramic views with my family on our recent visit here.
Since it’s usually crowded, we were ready for a significant walk (it’s difficult finding a parking spot near the tower) and a long wait to get into the tower. Once inside, the views are amazing!
For some beautiful views of San Francisco during your visit of the city, Coit Tower is a must!

Coit Tower is one of the must stops for tourists. The beautiful construction and architecture is seen from all around the city. Built on top of one of the hills, the views of San Francisco are breathtaking. The tower is made to look like the end of a fire hose. The lady whom left the money to the city for this tower was saved at a young age by firefighters. Hence the fire hose.
There are elevator rides to the top of the tower for an even more gorgeous view. We arrived a little late in the day so there was about an hour wait. Hopefully next time I will get there early enough to go to the top.
It is a sight to see for locals and visitors. Enjoy the view!

The fire hose nozzle named after Lillian Coit is now lighten Blue and Gold!
Looks great at night and fit accordingly to the current Golden State Warrior’s championship run.
LOVE IT!

Immer wenn ich in San Francisco bin, besuche ich den Coit Tower. Die Aussicht ist grandios, das Gebäude ist seit 1934 ein Baudenkmal der Stadt und der Auf-​/​Abstieg auf den Telegraph Hill über die Filbert Steps entlang der wunderbaren Gärten ist bereits ein Genuss. Und damit man wieder hierher kommt, unbedingt einen Penny durch eine der Glasscheiben auf den Fenstersims werfen!

Né croyez pas les guides touristiques grincheux (j’en ai au moins un avec en couverture un sac à dos en forme de globe terrestre :-p) qui vous recommandent d’épargner vos dollars en né montant pas en haut de Coit Tower: à moins d’être englué dans le brouillard (pas exclu à SF), le haut de la tour vous récompensera avec une vue à 360° magnifique de la ville et de la baie.
Vous risquez de faire la queue pour accéder à l’ascenseur: pas grave, car vous patienterez en admirant les peintures murales du hall, réalisées au moment de la construction dans les années 30, et, en pleine crise économique post-​1929, d’inspiration très gauchiste (pour les standards américains !) qui a même conduit à une censure de certains détails.
Même s’il y a un petit parking au pied de la tour, et une ligne de bus qui y mèné, le meilleur moyen d’y accéder est bien sûr la marche: en arrivant ou en repartant, n’oubliez pas de passer par les Filbert Steps, pittoresque jardin en escalier qui relie la tour et l’Embarcadero.

Schöner Ausblick auf eine der schönsten Städte der Welt!!!

Der Coit Memorial
Tower befindet sich in der Nähe des Washington Square
in einem Villenviertel auf dem Gipfel des Telegraph Hill. Auf dem Vorplatz steht das westwärts schauende
Christopher Columbus Monument. (Siehe Foto unten) Christoph Columbus grüßt
Ein Aufzug brachte
uns bis zur Plattform innerhalb des Turmes. Von dort hat
man einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Stadt. Die Marin
Landspitze, die Golden Gate Bridge, die Baybridge, die Transamerica Pyramid, die
Gefängnisinsel Alcatraz, das Ausflugsziel Angel Island sowie viele andere
interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten erstrahlten in atemberaubender Schönheit.
Direkt am Fuße des
Telegraph Hill liegt das italienische Viertel North Beach, wo wir abends Essen
waren. Beeindruckt haben uns
auch die Wandmalereien im Inneren des Turms. Sie illustrieren das Alltagsleben
der 30er Jahren. Circa 25 Maler erinnern mit ihren Gemälden in beeindruckender
Art und Weise an diese Zeit. (Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten) Die beeidruckenden Wandgemälde am Aufgang zum Turm
Der zylindrische Tower ist auch mit dem PKW erreichbar. Direkt am
Monument gibt es Parkplätze, die allerdings oft besetzt sind. Eine Buslinie
besteht auch. Wir wählten den
Fußweg, denn was man unterwegs alles sehen kann entgeht einem im Bus und auch
im PKW. Hunderte Stufen führen entlang üppig mit exotischen Pflanzen
überwucherter Häuschen nach oben. Ein wenig Kondition sollte man schon haben. (Siehe Foto unten) (Siehe Foto unten) Der Blick vom Tower ist einfach nur toll
Der Coit Tower
sollte auf keiner Belichtungstour durch San Francisco fehlen. Auch die 5 Dollar
Eintritt fanden wir für nicht übertrieben.

Bei gutem wetter hat man hier eine ideale aussicht auf die stadt.
Der alte fahrstuhl der nach oben führt ist echt schick aber nichts für mensche mit platzangst!

Le batiment est magnifique
Point de vue spectaculaire sur San Francisco, a faire absolument.
l’accès est un peu sportif à pied, mais ca vaut le détour (de plus le chemin pour y monté est très agréable.)

der Blick ist atemberaubend, allerdings finde ich den Preis für simples hochfahren mit dem Aufzug etwas überteuert. aber nichts desto trotz wollten wir uns den Blick nicht entgegen lassen. leider sind die Fenster durch Plexiglasscheiben verschlossen und diese sind stark mitgenommen. die Fotos werden aber trotzdem gut und der Blick ist unfassbar

Ein MUSS!
Aber warum nur vier Sterne? Bei dieser Aussicht, diesem großartigen Gebäude?
Weil wirklich mal jemand die Scheiben putzen könnte oder besser noch diese gleich durch grobe Gitter ersetzen. Wie soll man duch diese versifften Scheiben der Aussicht angemessene Fotos machen?
Ich fand es wirklich schade aber das Erlebnis wird dadurch nicht geschmälert, der Coit Tower bietet wirklich eine umwerdenden Blick über die Stadt. Übrigens: Morgens ist noch nichts los!

Muss man gesehen haben wenn man in SF ist. Ausblick gigantisch.

Superbe vue panoramique sur la ville Le meilleur point de vue sur la ville, les ponts, le port. Attention, difficile de prendre des photos de qualité à cause des vitres en plexiglass (fortement rayées) et donc des reflets et autres artefacts. Prévoir un filtre polarisant et se coller aux vitres pour limiter les reflets. Escalier non accessible (voulu ?), de fait, il est obligatoire de prendre l’ascenseur rustique, microscopique et payant. Pas sûr qu’il soit conforme aux normes de sécurité actuelles … Organisation totalement amateur. Un marché réservé pour quelques uns ??? Le bus 39 vous laisse au pied de la tour avec un parking minuscule qui devrait être supprimé si la raison l’emportait. Mais nous sommes aux Etats-​Unis et le tout bagnole est encore roi. Né pas rater le petit jardin derrière la tour au rez de chaussée avec une vue splendide sur le Bay Bridge.

Un des plus beaux points de vue de la ville.
Né pas manquer non plus les peintures au rez-​de-​chaussée.

Absolute Besuchspflicht, wenn man in SF ist. Toller Ausblick. Von oben kann man toll erkennen, warum SF so hügelig ist…

Ein muss für jeden San Francisco Besucher. Der Eintritt kostet 5 $ und ist das Geld auf jedenfall Wert. Der Ausblick über die Hügel von San Francisco ist einfach super. Sehr gut mit dem Bus zu erreichen. Leider sind die Parkplätze eher begrenzt.

Tolle Aussicht gibt es dort, man erfährt einiges aus der Geschichte des Towers und von San Francisco.
Die Aussicht ist grandios, dafür müsste es fünf Sterne geben. Getrübt wird das durch die ziemlich zerkratzten Plexiglasscheiben. Und allzu lange kann man sich dort nicht aufhalten, denn mehr als den Turm mit der tollen Aussicht und ein paar Infos gibt es dort nicht viel mehr.

Foto-​Spot und auch gleichzeitig Monument, wo man innen etwas über die Geschichte San Franciscos anhand einiger Malereien erfährt.
Auf dem Telegraph Hill gelegen hat man von hieraus die Beste Aussicht auf sämtliche Stadtviertel und bis zum Meer. besonders schön sieht man von hier aus die Symmetrie der Stadt.

Mit Sicherheit mehr als nur ein Aussichtspunkt, oder ein Orientierungspunkt. Errichtet als Denkmal für freiwillige Feuerwehrleute im Jahr 1933 mit dem Geld der Spenderin Lillie Coit, thront der Coit Tower über einer der besseren Nachbarschaften der Stadt.
Leider ist das Parken in diesem Gebiet extrem schwierig, und den Berg zu Fuß zu erklimmen kann nach einem bereits ausgiebigen Rundgang durch SF beschwerlich sein.

Ein beeindruckender Aussichtspunkt mitten in der Stadt.
Mitunter muss man etwas warten bis ein Parkplatz frei wird aber es lohnt sich. Ihr geniesst von dort einen Ausblick auf die Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Pier 39, Bay Bridge, Berkeley und Oakland.
Tag wie Nacht beeindruckend. Geht zu Fuss ein bisschen in der Nachbarschaft spazieren — es gibt dort sehr schoene Haeuser zu sehen.

Coit Tower, est un monument offert aux Pompiers de SF. Il offre une vue imprenable sur la baie. Par temps clair on peut voir: lombard street, le golden gate
