A must see for every tourist, the Twin Peaks offer you beautiful views of San Francisco, Mount Diablo and Mount Tamalpais from inside the city. If you get here by car, don’t just stop in the parking, climb up the north hill and the quieter south pick and you’ll be rewarded. Several steps on the peak will make your ascent and descent easier.

The Twin Peaks may not be the highest peaks in San Francisco, but they are definitely the most interesting. Redtail hawks, raccoons, cottontail rabbits, skunks and Mission Blue butterflies have made the Twin Peaks their home.

To make the most of your visit, we advise you to park on Twin Peaks Boulevard, cross the street and go up the stairs. There is no entrance or parking fee. The Twin Peaks are perfect for a family outing. So invite your family for a picnic on the Twin Peaks and enjoy the breathtaking views on a clear day. You can also bring your dog along, for he also deserves to spend a day in the middle of nature.

We advise you not to visit Twin Peaks on a foggy summer day, because you may not see a thing.
