 Coit Tower by PetraG It was built to think of all the brave fireguards that were killed at the big earthquake of 1905. It's quite hard to climb up, but I assure you, it's worth it! Amazing views - unfortunately behind glass windows... (not easy to photograph) At the bottom of the tower is a little souvenir-shop where you can buy cute little things!! Leave a Comment

Anywhere along the Embarcadero you will see Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill. Built by Mrs. Coit to honor the firefighters of SF, today you can tour the tower. Leave a Comment

 Coit Tower by SFHulaGIrl Coit Tower is a memorial to San Francisco's volunteer firefighters. This 180-foot cylindrical tower, named after Lillian Hitchcock-Coit (philanthropist & admirer of San Francisco's firefighters), was completed in 1933. Its design is reminiscent of a fire hose nozzle.

 Alcatraz from the Coit Tower Hill by shivan Coit tower hill: This hill has a name that makes italians laugh, but that's it! If somebody wants to wonder why I'm here. This is a picture showing the San Francisco Bay taken from the Coit Tower Hill, there is also the Alcatraz island. Can you see it? The American flag is an attempt to make an artistic picture, did I succeed? This is also an 1999 picture, you'll find some 2004 pics also later. Leave a Comment

by shivan Skyline: the San Francisco skyline taken from the Coit Tower hill. The most famous landmark in San Francisco (excluding the Golden Gate Bridge) is the beautiful Nakatomi Plaza (see my hotel tip for a pic of it). The Coit Tower hill is a lovely place away from the downtown crowd so don't forget to visit it! Leave a Comment

Coit Tower is on top of Telegraph Hill. It has a splendid view of much of San Francisco. Parking is limited at the tower. There is a MUNI bus that travels from Washington Square at the edge of Chinatown to Coit Tower. Inside the tower at the base are some art deco style murals. It is said that the tower resembles a fireman's hose to commemorate their efforts during the 1906 earthquake. Leave a Comment

by acemj Provides great views of the entire city and has become a landmark. Just head up to the top of Telegraph Hill. San Francisco is one of the most photogenic cities on earth and this is an amazing spot to capture her smile. There is a small admission charge to go up to the top. Leave a Comment

by pipster Another geat site at the Coit Tower above the skyline of San Francisco..this entire area is pretty close quarters so its a little difficult to get any snapshot that doesn't feature at least a FEW tourists! Leave a Comment

by pipster If your ready for driving on the streets of San Francisco you can venture up to Coit Tower high above the skyline of the city. You have to actually wait in line to get a parking spot there but its worth the wait..buy your film or snacks prior to this visit however, since the cost of a roll of film could cost you a cool $20.00! The view is spectacular and inside the tower itself you can see a wonderful collection of murals, commisioned in the '30s by the U.S. government as a public works art project. Twenty five artists and nummerous assistants worked together to complete the frescoes which depict life in California. I was lucky enough to catch this unsuspecting tourist in this shot of one of the murals. Leave a Comment

Coit Tower - Offers an awesome view of the Bay Area, provided it's a clear (and un-foggy) day in SF. Equinox Restaurant (Hyatt Embarcadero Hotel) - Not a normal stop in a visit to SF, but consider it a nice way to give your feet a break. The structure of the hotel is amazing, it gets narrower as you look up--take the clear glass elevators, walk around. During Xmas, the hotel has white lights strung from the various floors... Equinox Restaurant is a 360 degree revolving restaurant on the 17th Floor. Treasure Island - What can I say? Gorgeous Views. Angel Island - Take the ferry from Tiburon (Marin County) to Angel Island, which was once a detention center for many Chinese immigrants. Golden Gate Park - Visit the museums, stroll along or go to a free Summer Concert @ The Stern Grove. Walk along the piers (away from Pier 39)--along the Embarcadero. Experience North Beach - the newly reviving Mission District (SOMA) - and if you have a hunkering for Korean or Japanese cuisine, drive on Geary (going towards Van Ness) and there is a plethora of restaurants. SF has a lot to offer--the buzz of a cosmopolitan city in conjunction with the laid back lush natural surroundings! Leave a Comment
