Filbert Steps

Look for 1360 Montgomery Street, home to Lauren Bacall in the movie Dark Passage. Gold Rush-era homes line the nearby pedestrian streets. - Green Guide Editor

Arduous to climb but nevertheless has great views of the bay bridge along with trail of flowers and greenery that is immensely refreshing

Gardens lining mostly wooden steps. Don't trip - but don't forget to look up for spectacular views and don't be afraid to say hello to the residents of Telegraph Hill .

Start at Coit Tower walk down the Greenwich steps and then up the Filbert steps. You can be up close and personal with the Telegraph Hill neighborhood , historic houses, gardens ...

What a workout! Be sure to stop along the way to discover the views and the secret gardens !

The most beautiful way to get to Coit Tower .. Long but totally worth it !! 

The first flight of concrete stairs is the scariest, it gets much better/more scenic after that. Hike all the way to Coit Tower!

Make sure to stop by the secret garden on the left on the way up and on the right on the way down.

The Filbert Steps is like finding a forest in the middle of the city . Keep an eye out for the famous parrots of Telegraph Hill .

Awesome quick urban hike , get to the tower early to not wait in line for elevator

its a great place to get lost in a city

Cool series of staircases behind old houses. If you're lucky you'll see the resident parrots.

It is not that hard to go up the stairs! Took us only 20 minutes, and we are not that sporty

Very nice stairway through beautiful houses and a sunning view .

What a hike , but worth it!

Very cool hidden walking spot! Pretty views .

No matter how fit you are. No matter how good you are. Never attempt to walk up the steps. I am dead now.

Awesome views decent workout

Are there really 450 steps from Levi's plaza to the Coit Tower? If so, then I have done the next year worth of exercise ha!

Awesome exercise with beautiful view . You'll pass by beautiful gardens and art deco buildings. Maybe you'll see the famous parrots! Read more

So beautiful! The view never fails to amaze me.

Great way to get to Coit Tower on foot.

Nice garden and nice view !

Don't underestimate the stairs. It's a short way up but decently steep.

Take your time and enjoy the view !

I counted to 388 steps ????????
