Das Erlebnis

Über dieses Abenteuer

Follow Lillie Hitchcock Coit, San Francisco's eccentric heiress and honorary firefighter, from Little Italy up Telegraph Hill to light her beacon at Coit Tower. 

Climb the famous Filbert Steps through wild gardens and descend via the Greenwich Steps to the waterfront piers. A story-rich walk through North Beach's bohemian history and San Francisco's Gold Rush legacy, with sweeping bay views of Alcatraz and The Golden Gate Bridge at the summit.

Passt das zu euch?

Für wen es ist

Couples and active visitors who want to climb Telegraph Hill on foot get about two hours of North Beach and Gold Rush stories, following heiress and honorary firefighter Lillie Hitchcock Coit from Little Italy up to Coit Tower by the Filbert and Greenwich Steps, with views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge from the top. If 3.5 km of steep stairs in the sun sounds like hard work, choose a flatter route.

Ein paar Antworten vor dem Start

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What is the Embarcadero in San Francisco?
The Embarcadero is San Francisco's waterfront, the stretch of piers along the bay at the foot of Telegraph Hill. On this walk it is one of the stops, linking the hill and its stairways with the waterfront piers, close to Levi's Plaza Fountain.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at the crosswalk on Union Street and Stockton Street in North Beach and ends at the same spot. The loop takes in the Embarcadero, the Greenwich and Filbert Steps, Pioneer Park, Coit Tower, Bob Kaufman Alley, Saints Peter and Paul Church and the Volunteer Firemen Memorial.
How long does it take and how hard is it?
Plan on about 2 hours for 3.5 km. Difficulty is medium, and the route climbs and descends long stairways with uneven ground, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs. Go in the morning to avoid the heat, bring water, a hat and sunscreen, and avoid playing at night. You can pause and continue later.
Is it good for kids?
It suits older children, roughly 10 and up, who can handle lots of stairs and enjoy medium-difficulty puzzles based on what is in front of them. The firefighting heiress story and the tower at the top give them a clear goal. Very young children may find the climb and the 2-hour length too much.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
No booking is needed. You start whenever you like on your phone, with no guide and no fixed group to join. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest, so friends or family can solve the puzzles together.
