Number 5: Golden Gate Park, a great urban park. It’s an oasis that offers an escape from the city. The large park has beautiful landscape design with well-maintained gardens.
Number 4: Coit Tower. Gracing the landscape of San Francisco, the art deco tower was constructed to beautify the city. The observation tower at the top offers excellent city views.
