From the Pacific all the way around to the south bay. You can see it all. You can look directly down on Market Street, the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate, the Bay and on and on. You can see it all (as long as the fog stays away - it's usually clear)

This was a surprisingly high-altitude viewing spot. If its a foggy day don't even bother because you will be up in the clouds and not see a thing. The wind was ferocious and it was chilly, but you can seeee forever from up there on a clear day.

What a great view of the city, but there's quite a windy drive up, so hang on to your hat and don't look too far off the road while driving- a little death defying drive!

We travelled to twin peaks on a city bus tour that we purchased through virgin holidays. The views from here of the city are amazing and if you get a clear day then you can see for miles.

Just make the fog is clear when you go up there, but otherwise it's a great view of San Francisco and the bay.

You can see forever from here, great for picture taking. Take a jacket, might be windy, but worth it.

We decided to go to Twin Peaks at the last minute. I am SO glad we did it. The drive up is crazy (winding roads), and the view from the top is absolutely amazing! Make sure you put this on your itinerary!
