Coit Tower

Iconic 210-foot tower featuring fresco murals from the 1930s, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the city's artistic history.

Tips from the community

Coit Tower is a well-known tourist destination during the day, but in the evening when the visitors leave, it turns into one of the best places for a San Francisco sunset. At 210 feet in the air with a 360° view, this famous art deco-style tower on Telegraph Hill is a perfect place to be at sunset. Since its completion in 1933, the tower sitting on top of Telegraph Hill has been an essential piece of the San Francisco skyline. Coit Tower’s observation deck boasts 360-degree views of the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the city itself. Choose your favorite landmark and watch the sun descend behind it. Be sure to check the San Francisco Recreation website for up-to-date hours and fees.
