Breathtaking, Stunning Overlooking the Bay. Great for Bike Rides or Just Strolling along. I highly recommend checking it out

I love this place. The view is beautiful just like the architecture. It reminds me of McDonals's. I do not know why.

One of the most scenic bridges in the world, surely

It was so cool to finally see this span in real life and even walk across it

What am I going to say that you don't know already?? Well, if you are trying the bycicle ride accros the bridge, be very carful with wind gusts and walking people. We all want to see the bridge but walking people and bikes do not match together. Maybe if they could open the sidewalk on the other side.....

Its a stunning piece of American ingenuity. The water is beautiful and the views are breath taking! People who live in this area are truly blessed to have such a beautiful piece of history in their backyard.

Amazing views. A good example in how a practical structure becomes the most important landmark of a city and country

It's a must see. Plain and simple. I recommend getting there by bike or bus and taking the time to explore the areas around the visitors center and bridge. The #28 bus runs between Fisherman's Wharf and the visitors center every 15 mins.

Beautiful bridge. Worth seeing. If you re visiting for the first time, please make sure you wear warm clothes. It s super cold and windy in San Francisco. You can see Alcatraz prison from the bridge. It was very cool. Did not get to do a tour of the prison but I will next time I m there.

Still amazing in July even though it Frisco's foggiest month

Head there early and cross it when fog starts rolling in! Love this heap of metal!

If you're someone who's as obsessed with Death as I am, definitely go here. It's eerie if you go in the evening/ night time, it also makes for better pictures. From beginning to end- one way, including time for pictures and video, it took us roughly 30 minutes. It is very windy up there, don't forget a snack and use the bathroom before hand.

Wonderful place as we all know and love , it s a beautiful site and a nice drive

Awesome views of the bridge. Looks like a painting. Stunning.

Great spot for a photo opt. Wish I made enough time to visit other viewing spots though but still a great time with the kids

Surreal is an understatement. The best way to see the bridge is by taking the red bus there.

It was a very nice trip that I went on to go see the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a nice little spot to go and spend a few minutes if you're just there to see it and not actually use it but if you do the view of the ocean is killer while walking on it. I recommend going to see the bridge if you don't live relatively close to it like I do.

Beautiful, but windy, crowded and loud. If you re hardcore, go all the way to the end, but most people only walk to the first post or so.

It was so breathtaking and awesome. Never in my life did I think this girl from TN cross the Golden Gate Bridge... twice! I loved all the information about the bridge and how it wad made. The view was gorgeous. The gift so was great. They had a lot of decently priced souvenirs. There were a lot of people there and buses coming in and out so that was a bit overwhelming. The bathrooms were clean and they were actually really cool and unusual. Guess we've gotten so used to those automatic bathroom gadgets. There was also a pay phone. I'm sure a lot of the younger visitors had no clue what they were.

splendidly stupendous bridge. a monumental engineering product.

Definitely a must visit site while in SFO. Pretty amazing walk over the bridge with a great view.

Good place to stop for a look and a few photos. There are a few good viewing spots. Just make the most of days that arnt too foggy!

I m local, so it isn t too omg so amazing to me. It s an amazing bridge, and for sure one of California s most well known structures. It s usually moderately windy and foggy, so it isn t a perfect view, but it clears up in the afternoon. There s not too much traffic, which is good, and there is a cafe on one side of the bridge. Otherwise, one of the coolest places I ve seen in a while.

We went to Golden Gate in Jan. 2 2019. It is a incredible View. I got there around 10am and got a free parking. Lucky me! If you want ur visite to be smooth when visite Golden Gate Bridge you have to get here early... This place does not have a lot of parking spaces.

I've always wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge and it's even more incredible in person!

Was so windy and it started to rain but spectacular nonetheless.

Not to miss - life time opportunity. One can take a walk from pier 9 if one has time or public transport too.

Really a site to be hold, truly a brilliant piece of engineering

though a long walk I so enjoyed walking across the Bridge with such a beautiful scenic view s on both sides

What can I say, one of SF most iconic places! You have to get lucky on the weather though... There's usually a lot of fog.
But it's a must visit.

Still remains the number one attraction in San Francisco for this San Francisco native along with the Pacific ocean for beauty mechanical engineering a fun free ride on a bike across the span of the bridge you cannot beat it

If you are in the city, you should definitely walk across the bridge. It's a really great experience. It can be windy. Be prepared, layer clothing. The views are amazing!

I can see it over and over again, and it's still just as beautiful as the first time. If you're in town visiting, GO SEE THIS! Shoot for mid day when the fog is at it's least aggressive.

in watch dogs 2 i jumped off this, 10/10 would jump off again

Very nice place to stop and take pictures using the bridge as background!

This is a must-see thing when in San Francisco. I m still in awe because of this beautiful bridge, it looks unreal in person. Rent a bike or walk across it.

Bridge was fantastic. Hoards of tourists were a challenge. I photobombed a lot of them.

Incredible views even with 50 mph winds. Don't pass up a chance to see this.

One of my wife's dreams was to see it in person and it did not disappoint

A landmark of the city, which offers unparalleled view of the bay and its surroundings. Best to visit early in the morning and chose the east or west viewpoint, to park and take some memorable shots with your company. Another good way to visit would be the Big Bus Tour or use a local guide. For a different view of the beach you can also visit Baker beach, where is significantly less busy and also offers free parking.

As expected. Nice place to visit, a must if you're in SF. Be careful since even in sunny days the bridge can be totally or partially covered with fog and the pics will fail. This happened to us the 1st day, fortunately we could came back a second one and it worked, so don't leave this visit for the last day of your stay in SF since you can leave missing the picture and most important the experience of seeing this beautiful construction. Also, consider there is a lot of traffic on the bridge and also in the way to it.

A mandatory stop in SFO, be aware that its really cold almost freezing because of the strong winds, so if you are willing to cruze the bridge on foot, you should wear a good jacket.

This iconic and historical bridge will never dissapoint you by it beaty- look at it from far and from withn, and you will be amazed at the size and beauty it adds to the San Francisco Bay. Ant it surprised you no matter how many time you visit - rising above the summer fog, in full view during the spring, through the rain in winter, morning and evenings, sunsets and extreme fog makes this bridge seems like a new view ech time you see it! it is definetely a most beatiful sight in all of California if not th country!!,i hope this review and photos i took help ful to you if you like click like thank you .

Nice natural view all around bridge adds to the beauty

Beautiful yet I was terrified!!. I'm scared of heights. I didn't walk across. Even though we saw mothers running with thier babies is strollers going pass, and kids walking with their parents. I couldn't do, I froze at the start.

Stop on the North side Vista point. When your done taking pictures take a drive down the two lane road across to the other side, west of the bridge. There you can get some Beautiful pictures and you will be above the Golden gate bridge with a view that you won't believe.

Beautiful, absolutely breathtaking. If you are planning a trip, I recommend a jacket all year.

I'm not even a tourist and I never get tired of coming through (given the opportunity) and just stare at this majestic landmark.

Yes, I've been here many times and each time is always breathtaking.

A few tips:
1) Take the time to see it from more than one viewpoint. I would suggest three off the Sausalito side. (Bottom at the park, bridge level, then up the hill.) Each experience is different, TRUST. You can walk on the bridge if you're on the correct side. if you happen to park at the biker's only side, there is a walkway under the bridge to lead you to the opposite/walking side.

2) Parking is free at all three spots.

3) Bathrooms at the hill is pretty nasty. Bring your own tissue and antibacterial gel.

Whether it's clear of fog is hit and miss. Weather and season play significant roles on that outcome.

Beautiful pictures of the golden gate bridge, San Francisco.

This is by far one of the best Vista points of the Bay Area and a great place for photographs

The words to explain are unnecessary. It is the most beautiful bridge in the world.

It goes without saying that a trip to San Francisco isn't complete without seeing this bridge. It's rusty red and not decked in gold, but still pretty.

There are many spots to view the bridge. I'll mention a few here, all are FREE to visit:

1) Northern tip of San Francisco peninsula. Look for "Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center", "Fort Point National Historic Site", "Crissy Field", or "Battery Cranston". You'll see the bridge up close. Any time of day is good for photos.

2) Marin Headlands. The views here are more impressive because in addition to the bridge, you'll also see the equally beautiful San Francisco skyline. The downside is that on a sunny day, there's a lot of glare from the sun so you might be disappointed with your photos. Sunset is a great time to visit though. Look for "Golden Gate Bridge View Vista Point", or "Battery Spencer", or drive to the end of Marina Road.

3) Fisherman's Wharf. Everyone goes here so while you're here, why not check out the bridge? You won't see it up close though, so you need a zoom camera. I listed this because you can take a ferry here (for a very hefty fee) and see the bridge up close. The ferry will even sail directly under the bridge.

4) The bridge itself. You can cross the bridge on foot, along the east sidewalk, the side facing downtown. There is direct access to this sidewalk from the Welcome Center or Vista Point. You can also bike on both east and west sidewalks, but bring your own (no rentals). Note that walking or biking is only allowed during daytime hours. Check their website for the actual hours.

Some more practicalities:

1) There is a toll for driving along the bridge. There are several payment options, and your choice depends largely on how often you will use the bridge. More info on tolls is available on their website. We paid $8.20 for each round-trip crossing.

2) Check the weather forecast and bring layers as necessary. Clear blue skies and mild weather aren't always guaranteed.

Have a great time!

Okay when you can see it thru the fog. Extremely crowded. Expect long delays.

Go early morning. I went during afternoon, when the fog already takes control of the bridge. It is scary and so high over the bay. I felt tempted to grab those plenty of quarter coins thrown the handrail-like thing at the most outer part of the bridge. I love those 2 or 3 sustained columns, so retro-futuristic mood.

I have lived on this Earth for 40 years. It wasn't until I went to the Golden Gate Bridge that I was sprayed by a skunk.

It's an amazing place to walk with your family or friends and it has an amazing view. But remember bring your walking shoes

The bridge itself is magnificent. San Francisco not so much. Perhaps if the stench of the city wasn't quite so yucky it would have been much better. I'm sure it's not that way for the locals, but on that day the smell was of offal, rotting fish and other things. For someone else it could be an adventure, just not for me.

The view of Golden Gate Bridge makes your jaw drop. It is tall, and beautiful. The wind and noise make it little hard to enjoy but once you get adjusted to that, you will definitely find the view fantastic. I would not rate this on the same level as Brooklyn Bridge but definitely a must visit.

It's a tourist stop, no doubt, but it's also glorious in its scope. We went to Fort Baker (Coast Guard base) and hiked up from there. You can see the SF Bay from parts of the trail; we even saw a couple of whales from one point! Eventually we reached the Bridge---at that point we could have crossed it, but opted to go to the highest vantage point and get a view of the whole bay and Bridge.

Beautiful scenery with the longest suspension bridge in the world

Pick a clear day and run/walk over this impressive landmark. Much more time to enjoy than crossing by car alone.

San Francisco is definitely the place I immediately felt in love with during my USA Tour from east to westcoast.
It was amazing to the Golden Gate Bridge in real life after I saw it in thousands of movies!
If you ever have the chance, dont miss to visit it!

One of my favorite bridges to visit. Beautiful view of San Fran. Easy to access. The visitors center is great too

Icon of SF ! A drive on the bridge was just wow.
Ofcourse a romantic place ..
