Gondola
The Salesforce Gondola is a free, glass-enclosed aerial lift located in downtown San Francisco that transports visitors from street level up to the Salesforce rooftop park. It offers passengers unique views of the Financial District skyscrapers and rooftop gardens without requiring any tickets or reservations.
While commenters appreciate that the gondola is free and praise the rooftop park as a scenic city gem, sentiment is somewhat mixed. Several users point out practical drawbacks such as difficult parking, short ride durations, occasional closures, and noting that escalators or stairs can be faster.
- Enjoy a complimentary ride with no ticket or reservation required
- Expect a very short ride time from street level to the rooftop
- Use escalators or stairs as a backup if the lift has a long line or is closed
- Explore the rooftop garden and unique plant collections once at the top
- Be mindful that downtown parking nearby can be difficult and costly
