San Francisco’s hilly topography means one thing: Incredible views everywhere. You don’t have to head over to the Painted Ladies or the Bridge vista point. Here are five loved neighborhood spots where you can appreciate the best views of San Francisco.

• Hike the highest peak in town (Not Twin Peaks)

  Incredible views surrounded by nature, not concrete and tourist buses.

  Only a 10 minute walk from The Castro Theater.

• Get High in the Haight (and Cole Valley)

  The perfect spot to decompress after hanging out in the Haight

• The best place to watch the fog roll in

  Incredible views of the City, particularly in the summer when it's windswept slopes give you a majestic view of the fog rolling in.

• “the apotheosis of the best of San Francisco”

  If you don't mind the occasional naked dude, this is the best beach in the city.

• The best sunset spot in San Francisco

  "a San Francisco bucket list-must for residents and tourists alike..."
