Tanner SmithAugust 12, 2014There are bathrooms inside you can use rather than the single public one outside.
Nancy P.April 25, 2013Bring a coin from your country and sign it. Leave it at the top. I left my business card. LOL.
Alan ZeinoJune 14, 2013Once you get used to the smell of putrid urine you'll wonder how you ever did without it!
Darshy NAugust 16, 2011Go to Coit Tower, but only at night. You'll get a beautiful quite view of the city and you'll avoid the tourist rush.
PRZAKJanuary 12, 2012Watch the ships come and go from the top of Telegraph hill. Bring a lunch if you're walking.
Cynthia ZNovember 7, 2012Almost cooler than the view is the collection of international coins people left on the window ledges.
AngerMonkMay 28, 2011Come in the morning if you want pics of the golden gates otherwise the sun will be in your shots
Albert QianMay 7, 2012Open parking spots here on a Sunday morning. Come and beat the afternoon tourist rush.
