Coit Tower, San Francisco, California
Coit Tower was on my list since I read about it in my Son's History book long time ago in regarding the murals drawn on the interior walls depicting labor and California life during the Great Depression and seen the tower in some Hollywood movies. And am glad I visited this place many years ago. So far I visited just once. The murals and paintings on the walls are stunning , be sure to walk through and check them before you take your ride in the elevator.
It has an observation deck, tickets can be purchased for the deck in the gift shop near the elevator, provides 360-degree views of the San Francisco city and bay, including the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Once you purchase your ticket you wait in line for elevator in the lobby which is filled with fresco murals. After you exit the elevator, there are around 30 to 40 more steps to climb to get to the top of the tower with 360 degree panoramic view. Don't worry there are plexiglass windows in the tower for our safety.
Ps: A very small free parking lot in the turnaround with a waiting time on busy days is the only downside when you visit this place and street parking is virtually non-existent. But still, worth the wait!
If people are interested in walking/hiking, I would definitely recommend walking up to the tower. It's a good hike from Chinatown or Pier 39.
Coit Tower is definitely a must see while in San Francisco!
