Overlooking the Golden Gate is the Presidio, a former military post with beautiful architecture and a beautiful garden setting. Presidio is a beautiful palace in the Fine Arts, built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and reminiscent of Roman and Greek architecture.
In the city center, the famous cable cars running up and down the hills between San Francisco Market Street and Fisherman's Wharf and offer quite a ride (see above under Get around for more info). At the top of one hill, Telegraph Hill in North Beach, is Coit Tower, a gleaming white tower dedicated to San Francisco firefighters. At 275 'high, the hill is a healthy hike from the nearest neighborhood just below. Another prominent tower nearby is the Transamerica Pyramid, the tallest and most recognizable building in the San Francisco skyline, located among the skyscrapers and highrises of the Financial District. Perhaps the most famous view of the skyline from Alamo Square Park in the Western Addition district, home of the famous Painted lady Victorian row houses, with many other beautiful Victorian encircle a beautiful garden.
