    The Golden Gate Bridge is without a doubt the most well known emblem of San Francisco. Walking or biking across the bridge is a great experience, with incredible views from both sides. Read more

    If you are crossing in an open air bus it is cool and very windy. If you have a hat, one hand on your hat is recommended. Long sleeves and long pants would last be best in the am or when overcast.

    Go under the bridge. At Vista Point, off the parking lot, look for a steep set of stairs. It connects the pedestrian side to the biker side through an underroad passage.

    If you plan to walk or bike on the bridge, bring a warm jacket (yes even in summer) and secure your hat / don't wear a loose hat - or it will get blown away by the strong wind!

    Be sure to either walk or cycle the bridge at least once. Be sure to go to the Marina Headlands afterwards for an even better view of the bridge and San Francisco

    If you have the time take the trail from marina and walk along the water to the bridge! And if you have even more time... walk the bridge and get the view from the other side !

    The view here is amazing! The golden gate is beautiful to look at. The view plus the cool weather of San Francisco made it a little romantic place to just look around and stare at the sea.

    Best place to visit. A must if u come to SF. Spare yourself 45 min and take a stroll along the bridge and enjoy the view and wind breeze.

    Beautiful, iconic and usually foggy. Try not to get the chain linked fences in the background of your photos. Bus service to the bridge is easily accessible

    There’s a reason why this is one of the most iconic structure in the whole world. So beautiful from every angle.

    This is the most beautiful and iconic bridge in the US. I love the Brooklyn Bridge but nothing compares to this stunning bridge in the Bay.

    When walking, the bridge looks pretty level. Upon crossing it, you will see you have walked downhill. Be prepared for the slight uphill walk back from the north side.

    Beautiful bridge I have ever seen.. The clouds on top of the bridge makes it look more beautiful!! But had a horrible time finding parking space...Long enough to get a decent timelapse!!😀

    Take the public bus from city centre to Battery viewpoint and cross the bridge on your way back. Takes about 25 minutes with normal walking speed.

    Hey gouge you on the toll and parking near the bridge is a nightmare at best. Take the exit right before the toll that takes you up a gorgeous lookout, highly recommend that route.

    Another awesome way to view the Golden Gate Bridge is from Baker Beach. Walk across the beach to the far end and over the rocks and you'll be right underneath it.

    Don't view from Vista Point!! Drive ½ mile up Conzelman Road for viewing points to get the GG bridge in the foreground and city of SF in the background! Your photograph album will thank you for it!!

    The area around the bridge is a good place for picnics, barbecues, and quiet solo walks. It can be a little chilly (there's a Heating Room) so dress warmly.

    The red steel monster called Golden Gate Bridge. It was once the largest bridge in the world, but today it’s only number 8 on the list of international bridges. Enjoy a magnificent view.

    If you're planning on riding a bike or walking across the Golden Gate Bridge you best bring a sweater or jacket: it can get real cold and widy out there

    on foggy days there are several great vantage points other than the top. Check out Travis Marina for this view. Bonus: Plenty of parking!

    Make sure to drive, bike and walk the iconic International Orange painted bridge to see the beauty from different perspectives. Much easier to park @ the vista point just north of the bridge, off 101.

    When we return from a trip and see the Golden Gate Bridge, I know I'm home!!!! So beautiful! Blessed to live here. Everyone should bike or walk the Bridge at least once!'

    Come see the most beautiful bridge in the United States! The Golden Gate Bridge is located in my favorite US city, San Francisco. I've driven across it, sailed under it and it's breathtaking.

    Iconic landmark. Definitely worth the walk from San Francisco, along the water towards it. Amazing walk.

    In early 2015, a movable concrete barrier was added to the bridge. This barrier separates the six lanes of traffic. The Golden Gate Zipper can move the concrete barrier depending upon traffic flow.

    Drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, through Muir woods and along the coast until you come to Stinson Beach. Sit oceanside and see the San Francisco skyline in the distance and enjoy the waves

    You can’t pass up a visit to this landmark, no matter what's on the agenda for this trip. Get the best view from the scenic outlooks on the NE and SE points of the bridge. Make sure to bring a jacket.

    Wait for the morning fog to lift, take a taxi to the Southeast Visitor Area, and find the pedestrian walkway—if you can handle a run of 77 or 8 miles, continue through Crissy Field on the way back.

    Golden Gate Bridge the top suicide bridge in the world. The bridge has a "fatal grandeur". That attracts emotionally distraught people who seek a beautiful and even romantic death..

    Park and start from Mill Valley, and through Sausalito climbing up to the Golden Gate and across. That is a smoking ride. Of course you must u-turn at end of Bridge and return to Milly Valley. :)

    Park near the top to the east of the bridge. You can walk to the bridge, get a nice view and walk down to the pier. Note leave NOTHING visible in your car.
