"Climb the Filbert Steps for Views and Parrots In a city as steep and hilly as San Francisco , it’s no surprise there are some noteworthy stairways. On the east side of Telegraph Hill, the Filbert Steps reign as some of the most popular in the city. They wend their way up to the iconic Coit Tower, a memorial to San Francisco’s firefighters built in 1933. As you pass beautiful gardens and picturesque houses, listen closely for the hill’s infamous parrot population. You can also take a break to wander down Napier Lane, a wooden walkway that’s bordered by charming homes from the late 19th century. Don’t turn back there, though: once you summit the nearly 400 steps, you’ll be rewarded with excellent panoramas of the city."

Beautiful steps to the top of the hill with stunning views to reach Coit Tower. It’s quite the hike (21 floors)! The tower is accessible by car with parking accommodations if you don’t want to hike :)

I have been coming here for many years and each time I am wowed. It’s always fun to bring somebody visiting, which is what I did yesterday I love climbing so I have no issues with the stairs but my friend has a fear of heights so was a bit leery. She persevered and was delighted she did so. No matter what time of year it’s always lush here and through the seasons there are a variety of things blooming. To me it’s always beautiful. And of course, arriving at Coit Tower is always spectacular. We intended to take the Greenwich steps back, but forgot to change course.

Beautiful view and a perfect place to exercise your stamina. They are never ending stairs that will make you question your judgement and why you chose to take that path. 10/10 would go again. Fully recommended!

I did not particularly enjoy these shabby steps and breaking up the sweat climbing them but they offered a great view of Levi’s Plaza Park and led up to the Coit Tower in the end.

Great stair workout up to Coit Tower and back. Some beautiful gardens and landscaping along the staircases, as people live right next to them. Be respectful and stay off their property and just climb and descend the stairs.

Go in spring! Walking past Grace Merchant’s garden is a treat. Not very busy

Great workout and what lovely gardens that greet you along the way to Coit Tower. San Francisco is a lovely historic town with so many wonderful places to explore. I’m a native from SF and It’s only been my second time visiting Coit Tower. I would recommend try taking one of the fabulous Waymos, and have it take you to the top of Coit, but then walk down.

I love this so much. I think it's far more interesting and beautiful than Lombard street. It's an incredible 250 feet of climbing over a quarter mile. The steps are flanked by lush gardens. Worth the work (which isn't bad if you're moderately fit)
