Twin Peaks : info and guided tour

Overview of Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks refers to two twin hills located in the heart of San Francisco, near the well-known address 501 Twin Peaks Blvd. Their elevated position overlooks the city and offers one of the most sought-after viewpoints over the urban landscape, the bay and the Pacific Ocean, weather permitting.

The site belongs both to the world of urban parks and natural viewpoints. From the heights, you can make out San Francisco’s grid street layout, the residential neighborhoods stepping down the slopes, and the distinctive topography that makes the city so unique.

Twin Peaks is also a pocket of nature in the middle of a heavily urbanized environment. The hills are a major geographic landmark, visible from many parts of San Francisco, and a favorite spot for observing the contrasts between the hills, the houses and the main traffic routes.

The panorama changes with the light, fog and season, giving the place a shifting atmosphere. From the heights of Twin Peaks, you can instantly understand the site’s central position in San Francisco and its role as a natural balcony over the city.
