de Young Museum observation deck
One of the best museums in San Fran, de Young museum boasts of various art installations from all over the globe.

Treasure Island
Located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay and the historic venue of the 1939 World Fair, this place offers a wealth of photos of the city and the waterfront, especially after sunset when the buildings of the city skyline are all lit up. Take a ferry to Treasure Island and likewise enjoy snapshotting the Bay Bridge and the ferry building.
Coit Tower
One of the highest points in the city, Coit Tower has a 360-degree observation deck for taking sweeping vista shots of San Francisco. It’s named after Lillie Hitchcock Coit, a famous patroness of the city’s volunteer firefighters. The tower is located at the top of Telegraph Hill and has an admission fee of eight dollars.
Marin Headlands
Finally, there’s the Marin Headlands, which is technically not part of San Francisco but is the perfect place to shoot the Golden Gate Bridge in all its glory. To get there, you’ve to go up the hills of the Golden Gate Strait. Bring a coat or a jacket as it can get really cold and windy in the area.
