A unique view over the city

Twin Peaks is one of the most famous and most visited places in the city. It's a great way to see the city from a different perspective.
Circular lookout
The hills offer wonderful circular views of the city and its surroundings. Twin Peaks is therefore a popular tourist destination and also an important part of the city's history. Native Californians used this site to observe game before hunting. Due to the open space to the ocean, it is often windy and there are clouds that make the view difficult.
