San Francisco from Coit Tower

To get a great view of San Francisco, I recommend visiting the Coit Tower in the North Beach neighborhood. This WPA-era tower offers a great view of the city atop one of its oldest areas. In this photo you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard Street amongst other popular city sights.

Coit Tower sits atop Telegraph Hill, a very cool area in my opinion because they have wild parrots that live in great numbers there. A pretty cool sight.
