If you want to experience San Francisco in all of its glory, then head over to Twin Peaks and be amazed! Just a mere 20-minute drive from downtown San Francisco, this is a favorite spot for tourists and photographers alike, because of the picture-worthy view at the top. To avoid any fog that may block your otherwise perfect view, do plan your visit to the Twin Peaks either early in the morning to catch the beautiful sunrise or even at night to admire the city lights. Do bring along a jacket too, as it can get really windy up there! Strap up your hiking boots as well. While you could just drive all the way up, the best experience would be to actually make your way up with your own two feet by hiking. All that effort will be rewarded with absolutely breath-taking views, so it will definitely be worth it.
