Robert ThachJuly 20, 2015It's obvious that making a stop in San Francisco and checking out this bridge is a no brainier! Been to this city several times, and the bridge has always amazes me! Great city, awesome bridge!

Chris OSeptember 16, 2014If 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.

Jacob FordApril 18, 2018Go 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.
Kat 🐱May 29, 2017If 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!
Max Blue 🚴🍔November 8, 2014Be 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
Mads MarzMarch 26, 2017If 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 !
Kay MascardoApril 8, 2016The 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.
Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGOctober 8, 2014The Bridge specially painted in Red/Orange colour is one of the famous landmark in US & the World. Truly a great spectacular structure in US.
NeMeSiSApril 18, 2015Best 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.
Damian BayonaJune 22, 2015Beautiful, 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
A SAugust 20, 2019There’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.
Goutham GaneshJuly 23, 2016Beautiful 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!!😀
Ilya KuznetsovMarch 30, 2018Take 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.
Melissa ♡︎May 26, 2018Hey 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.- Taido NakajimaJuly 6, 2018Another 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.
Kelsey✨August 18, 2018Fun to run across the bridge in the morning! Just be mindful of the bikers coming atcha from both ways
Yateema4everNovember 10, 2015We went there but with a tour and I can't not to tell you it was a crazy moment .. You feel like you will jump out there lol😂😜 but need to go again to walk aside and enjoy the view👍🏽
David John SimpsonJanuary 5, 2016Don'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!!
Emmanuel QuarteyApril 5, 2015The 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.
RashidJuly 12, 2017Great & beautiful bridge to walk on or by bus, Also don't miss the "bridge boat tour"from the marina before sunset time.
NatalieApril 29, 2017Absolutely stunning! I recommend renting a bike and just bike from SF through the bridge and to Sausalito. Amazing views.
DavidMay 16, 2015Definetely a must do in sf. Best way to explore is rent a bike for a day from fisherman's wharf and enjoy the views!
CarolineDecember 12, 2016The 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.
Jeremy KrantzAugust 14, 2014If 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- Aolani SmytheSeptember 19, 2013Will always be in my heart and soul, the Golden City with world's historical bridge, San Francisco Gate ... Totally famous epic scenic spot in California, U.S.A. <3
Elysa EllisApril 19, 2015on foggy days there are several great vantage points other than the top. Check out Travis Marina for this view. Bonus: Plenty of parking!
Omar LoggiaSeptember 5, 2014The Golden Gate Bridge is the most iconic landmark in San Francisco. Walking or biking across the bridge is one the best experience of San Francisco. PD: The bridge is larger in the movies...
Cydell DignosJune 19, 2018a must see tourist spot but also a breath taking view to watch especially at night
Peter S. GreenbergFebruary 29, 2012Try San Francisco City Guides, who offer free weekly tours where you can learn about the construction and history of the bridge. Then read more for the best way to photograph the bridge. Read more
Aaron CruzJuly 26, 2014Make 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.
Sandra Strama MartinMay 24, 2013When 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!'
Perry EllisMay 31, 2011Enjoy the breathtaking scenery by renting a bicycle and biking across the Golden Gate bridge. If you have time, continue to Sausalito, a picturesque community with amazing views.
Alexa Jane BrooksJanuary 6, 2015Golden Gate Bridge is a beautiful site. Check it out during the day or when the sun is setting. Definitely worth the trip!
LauraSeptember 25, 2013Come 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.
Bren PearsonDecember 4, 2015Iconic landmark. Definitely worth the walk from San Francisco, along the water towards it. Amazing walk.
Doug AlesJuly 19, 2015In 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.
Staff PicksDecember 6, 2016The Golden Gate Bridge was one of the more wished for places throughout 2015’s I Want Somewhere holiday campaign. Where’s your somewhere? Enter to win a bucket list experience. Read more
Lipton Iced TeaJune 29, 2011Drive 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
National Car RentalJune 3, 2012You 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.- Fodor's TravelAugust 21, 2015Wait 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.
ᴡ NikeOctober 20, 2012Golden 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..
CaliGirl SavaSeptember 13, 2014bring a winter hat and warm clothes!!! incredible experience. one part of the bridge in the fog and the other part in the sun...amazing!!!!
Gregory JacksonJune 4, 2013Park 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. :)
Milli ParkusJanuary 8, 2017Amazing landmark and part of history! People walking and scenic view. Perfect place to walk your dogs too!
Saint MatteoMay 8, 2022Park 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.
