Where to see San Francisco Skyline

I am fond of seeing the panorama or skyline of every city I’ve visited. Seeing San Francisco skyline in many different angles, is magical. It’s like getting to know the city from afar in many hills that made up the city, home to the world’s richest IT start-ups.

So, where do you go to see San Francisco skyline or panorama?

From the Coit Tower

Challenge yourself by going up the hill on foot. It’s a long arduous climb and not for the socialite in heel-numbing stilletos. The photo below is San Francisco’s downtown skyline. better to go up there in the morning.

It’s only here in Coit Tower where you can see the 360-degree view of the city’s skyline. Here’s another view of the city’s panorama on the other side of Coit Tower.

Join a fun, wild tour by Wild SF Tours. They start from Castro, San Francisco’s Gay Village, all the way to Dolores Park and around Mission District. It’s a long walk but worth knowing the city in the different perspective. It’s beautiful to hangout here in summer time on a beautiful weather.

And guess what, Mark Zuckerberg’s house is in this area. When we were there, it was still under renovation.

FROM DE YOUNG MUSEUM

De Young Museum is away from the city’s downtown but when you reach there, you’ll be rewarded with a grand spectacle of the city covered in trees. Here, there’ art, a Japanese garden, flowers, and right across is the city’s Science and Technology Center.

It’s free to go up there even if you don’t pay the museum fee. You just have to show the contents of your bag to the security guard and ask him where the elevator to the tower is.
