If you go to SF you must go here. You can get a bus straight from Embarcadero/Pier 39 and back again. Read up on the history. The elevator was unfortunately out on the day we went but we managed the … Full review by 918lynnec

It is located on the top of a hill, so take lots of breaks if you need to. The view from SF is incredible and you can check the frescos inside the tower. It depicts the development of the area. There… Full review by vvdantas

One of San Francisco's landmarks, and it did not disappoint. The entrance fee was around $10 each which is fair. This includes using the lift. However, on our visit the lift was broken. We had a good… Full review by 931laurencep

Not sure what these people are talking about. I wish people wouldn't answer questions if they really do not know the answer, but... You absolutely can pre-purchase a ticket for a specific date and time. With that ticket, you are guaranteed the elevator ride to the top at your specified time. When you are buying the tickets online, immediately after you pick the quantity, it goes straight to the calendar where you pick the date and time. I went on a busy Saturday morning with an 11am ticket, and didn't wait in a line at all, we only had to stand at the bottom of the elevator for about 2 minutes while the elevator came down. Links are not permitted or I would post the link to the ticket purchase, but if you go to the SF parks and rec page for Coit Tower, about half way down the page, you will see a big brown button that says "Pre-purchase your mural tour and/or elevator tickets now!" Hope this helps.

The only way is the elevator . But if you want steps, you could walk up the 483 steps from Filbert to get to the tower itself! We did it and we are 60+ . And yes, we were happy to see the …
