Nestled along the coast, and usually wrapped in its celebrated blanket of fog, San Francisco is widely regarded as one of the best tourist destinations in the world. Whether it’s driving down the twists and turns of Lombard Street, walking across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, or indulging in one of Ghirardelli Square’s delectable ice cream concoctions, there is something for everyone to enjoy. No matter how long you stay in the Bay Area, you’ll wish there were more hours in a day to see everything that this beautiful city has to offer.

PICTURE-PERFECT: THE BEST POSTCARDWORTHY GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE VIEWS

You haven’t been to San Francisco if you haven’t seen the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Here are some of the places where you can have a perfect view of the landmark:

FORT BAKER

This US Army base located on the northeastern side of the Golden Gate Bridge is a secluded enclave of intact historical structures and scenic landscapes. It’s also near the Moore Road Pier, which provides onlookers a southwestern view of the Golden Gate Bridge with the Needles rocks in the foreground. For an elevated view of the Bridge and the Bay, make your way up behind the Cavallo Point Resort.

FORT POINT

This is a masonry fortification from the Civil War era that offers a spectacular ground-level vantage point of the Bridge and the San Francisco Bay.

BATTERY SPENCER

This deck offers the most quintessential view of the Bridge—seen in many travel photos and postcards. The lookout is perched on top of a bluff, which helps tourists see the masterpiece at an eye level.
