In a city famous for its views, this panoramic vista is not to be missed.

In Short
San Francisco truly glows in the dark, so pick a clear evening to watch it light up the night sky. At the most-traveled point, there is a direct view down Market Street, straight into downtown. Off in the distance lurks Berkeley and to the right is the industrial sprawl of South SF. Don't forget to take a look through the coin-operated binoculars for a closer view.

spectacular

You can see almost all of SF from here. The Bay Bridge, Golden Gate, Bay and Ocean. It's truly amazing, and, a great spot for visitors. I'm definitely going to bring my family up here when they visit.

I visited San Fran last month and it was a beautiful day on Twin Peaks. It's a really amazing view of the city. Can't wait to go back!
