The view from above must be beautiful. It’s not a long drive so I recommend it. However, for me personally, it’s not a must. It’s windy there. A lot of people try to take lots of photos so it’s not a quiet place to sit and enjoy the scenery. I prefer the sea view of the hotel room. We can see the Golden Gate Bridge and the Coit Tower. Although only a part of the city can be seen up close, it is more magical for me.
