Great views and plants you only see from my home state of Arkansas..It a mirror visit to Eureka Springs,AR. Its the Arkansan version of San Francisco! Get to the top of those stairs and its a beautiful picture of how our ancestors used to live on the mountain.

Such good steps and good little workout in a beautiful place. Really appreciate all the work people do along the way to keep it gorgeous.

My sister and I stumbled upon this place by accident lol. Had I known how far up of a hike it wouldve been, Id planned it as an sunset activity. Thought the way back down was more captivating with such a beautiful green lite up scenery.

This is a great workout. Not only will your calves and buns thank you (after a day of being mad at you of course because isnt that how love is?) but your eyes and heart will too. The views are amazing. Both of the resident maintained gardens and of the Bay Bridge. When you get to the top, keep going up Telegraph Hill to the base of Coit Tower. Youll get even more amazing views.I do want to pass on a suggestion that I heard from someone. If you are using both the Filbert and Greenwich stairs as an urban hike like I did, you might was to take the Filbert up and the Greenwich down unless you want a super strenuous workout. The Greenwich stairs are a little steeper.

A wonderful little escape from the city. Beautiful views, wonderful smells and the sounds of wild parrots. Walk up these stairs and then head down the Greenwich stairs for a good loop.

Great place to get a special view of the bridge. If you dont like going up stairs start at the top by Coit tower and walk down. If you start from the bottom its a long staircase to walk up. The houses here are nice but stay in the public path and dont wonder into private property.

Pretty steps with some well kept gardens that adorn either side of the stairs. There is less of a view of the bay but the gardens provide some tranquility and a snippet of San Francisco Bay Area life

Its calm and colorful. The flowers, many green plants, parrots and nice views at the bay in the middle of the city. I love that place!

Great workout and beautiful area with amazing views. We cheated and started from the top and walked down. Lol! Wasnt the initial plan but I am not regretting it. Parrots live in the trees at the top, couldnt see them but I heard them.

You really need to take these while in San Francisco, the gardens and workout you get to enjoy while trying to burst your own hart is paid off when you get to Coit Tower!The AZZ kicker is the Greenwich steps that lead to the same view but both are great!

I love these steps! There is such a pretty garden that surrounds them. And its so unexpected and hidden. Now, if you hate walking, you wont really like this that much. It is a decent amount of steps. But there is something about them that makes me really happy :)

Public right of way, of what was originally planned as a street but too steep to build. Nice way to make your way down from Coit Tower. Plenty of bees and flowers.

Absolutely magical. it’s a must experience if you’re visiting or live here and haven’t had the pleasure yet. there’s little pathways, beautiful houses tucked away and a public garden you can stroll through. visit Coit tower and take the Filbert Street Stairs as the sun is almost setting. great pathway.

A shortcut to Coit Tower, maybe hard to find as it is hidden in a dead end street. A good workout if you are up to the challenge.Beware of the foul smell at Filbert, may have a broken sewer somewhere.

Not for the faint of heart or out of shape! This picturesque hike, challenging in either direction, is both dangerous and beautiful. Highly recommended for the photo opportunities.

Although the stairs and the Coit Tower are visited by lots of tourists, they also are some of my favorite spots in the city, where I live to come back once in a while especially on a clear day, with the cobalt blue of the bay as a vivid distant staging.

An oasis of calm in the city, lovely gardens and buildings, with fragrant flowers to tingle your senses make the hard pull up the steep steps all the more worth it.

Review №52

Even though the climb is exhausting, this place is a great discovery in regards to the little houses with gorgeous gardens hidden on the way up (or down depending on your position). Tranquility and great views rewards your climb (along with a bit of sweat). Go on, its worth it!

Review №53

Great workout (a ton of stairs straight up the side of the hill), great views, and a little piece of green in the city. I love all of the garden areas, they are so pretty.

Review №54

All I wanted was pizza and from where we parked at, Yelp took us up these stairs from Hell. And I mean literally, hell... leg day was not that day and I still felt like jello afterwards. Probably lost about 10 pounds just making my ascent to Mordor.. If I could give a bad review on Yelp about Yelp, they would never hear the end of it. Regardless though, the view was spectacular (and the pizza was awesome, so losing about 15 lbs climbing the Eerie Staircase from Luigis Mansion was well worth it.)

There are 2 staircases that climb Telegraph Hill from the Embarcadero - the Greenwich Steps and the Filbert Steps. Both climb through beautiful gardens, sometimes with wild parrots flying around overhead. Climb up one, tour Coit Tower at the top, then climb down the other for a great free adventure in the city.
