Looking for an uninterrupted view of San Francisco and the bay? Head up Telegraph Hill. At the top you'll find the city's famous Coit Tower and a 360-degree-view. A wealthy San Francisco resident, Lillie Hitchcock Coit, requested and paid for the tower. From every angle, the tower seems to enhance San Francisco's landscape. A closer examination furthers reveals its magnificent architecture. There's a winding spiral staircase that climbs 210 feet to the tower's open top. On a clear day visitors can catch a spectacular view of the sunset over San Francisco.
