- Fireweed25Edmonton, Canada257 contributionsFort Point turned out to be a wonderful stop. Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge from the parking lot and at the top of the Fort as well as nice views over the water. The museum was informative and enough to keep the attention of teenagers for an hour.Written 20 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,208 contributionsThis island in the Bay has become a new town with lots of new housing development. It's an artificial island built with land fill for an international expo. Later it was the city's airport. Now there are terrific views of downtown, the skyline and the hills of the city. A ferry to take you from the island into town.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AMohsenPort Said, Egypt617 contributionsThere is a very good hostel there. It was a military-relevant base, but now it is a green coastal region, which is picturesque and tranquil. It is close to the fishermen’s wharf and has a good view of the ocean, the Golden Gate, the marina, and Alcazar.Written 13 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- permiaIreland65,599 contributionsIn a great brick building, whose former steam power tower was shortened by the 1906 quake, we saw the winding process that drives the three cable car lines.
It was marvellous strolling around the gallery and seeing the whirring wheels and other mechanisms that gaurantee a steady nine miles an hour for the cables. These are fed under the street at a lower level that is also available to the curious visitor.
Lots of posters and photographs document the engineering feats leading to the 23 lines in 1873 and the subsequent history including the public campaign to save parts of the system in the 1940s and 50s, sucessfully preserving the 3 lines that today are such a part of the city's life.Written 8 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seeing this installation was built in 1907 and the condition its in, its remarkable to see this.Written 26 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
