The bridge itself is quite the massive structure. It lends to a beautiful view and also makes for impressive photography. I didn t walk across the bridge but I did drive over one foggy night.

One day, I did walk up one of the nature paths that lead up to the gate which was interesting. The breeze was intense and there is a bit of an incline to the path. The path isn t paved, it s rocky and I advise those who choose to travel it to be cautious and note the kind of shoes they re wearing. Also, definitely check the weather before you visit! The first night I visited, the wind was so powerful , I couldn t even leave the car! It was so cold!!! Also, I advise visiting the bridge as a pedestrian, during the day. The paths leading to the bridge are pitch black. You ll see many people using their phone lights to help navigate the terrain.

Parking is extremely limited, so prepare yourself for that as well. You may have to park a ways away from the bridge resulting in a little bit of a walk.

The surrounding areas are beautiful. The scenery is lovely! I know there are other activities people can partake in around the bridge but I personally don t know of those details.

I would definitely recommend a trip to this popular landmark. If you re a lover of architecture and beautiful scenery, it s definitely worth a visit.

To be honest, I only traveled to San Francisco for this bridge and it lived up to my expectation. Bridge itself is amazing piece of art and creativity, specially when you realize that it was made more than 80 years ago. Best thing about the bridge is, it gives you new view every time and from every side. I would admit, it's not just the bridge but splendid view of the city has enhanced the beauty of the bridge as well. All in all, people walk on pedestrian path on the bridge ,which is great and you hear nerve wrecking sound of cars on the same bridge which is not so great. Still, I would never miss a chance to take a walk at the bridge whenever again.

If you've not been to this bridge, please don't tell me you've been to San Francisco. Lol.
It is really a place worth visiting, trust me.

What an amazing walk across this mighty bridge! I'm afraid of heights, so this was like "I conquered fears" in a sense for me! And the beauty of it. The history behind it. And the grandeur of this whole thing was breathtaking! It's definitely a must visit while in San Francisco I will say! And when you go with good friends, even better! Just looking at Alcatraz while you're on it and you can almost feel the power of the ocean while looking straight down!! And during the winter months (when I went) you can see some folks surfing and swimming down below, under and around the bridge!!! Kudos to them! This was again such an amazing experience and you will have the most fantabulous of time going to visit the Golden Gate Bridge!!!!!

best bridge in the world. enough said. hope to go here someday since I like good bridges

Even more impressive in person than what you see on TV or in the movies. Great views at the parks at either end. Love the fact that you can walk across. Just be careful of the toll.

An icon of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Golden Gate Bridge is more than a means for drivers to cross between the city of San Francisco and Marin County to the north.



And yet it's also a working bridge, with about 200 employees working around the clock maintaining the bridge for more than 100,000 cars crossing daily, as well as pedestrians, bikers and people riding the bridge's ferries and buses.

Amaizing place to visit. There is a big parking and also with big bus you can come here. In march in the morning there was so much fog you couldnt see the bridge and after two hours all was clear. Actually you can see the fog entering and exiting the bay in a couple of minutes... but you are in foggy city :) Also public clean restrooms available.

It's easy to see why the Golden Gate Bridge has gained such acclaim; it's stunningly beautiful, beyond delineation.

The sight is beautiful and the bridge although it's a bit Rusty it's still nice. Although the cars racing right next to you. I recommend to bike the bridge and not walk it because it's quite far especially if you walk back

It is an impressive bridge and it is also an egineering marvel of it's time built to last. It really doesn't need any reviews, but I have no other means to express the excitment I feel every single time I see it that close.

A must place to visit, best way you can get here and around the city is by taking a bus tour. It also helps you to understand the history all around but better check weather forecast as it's not always sunny

Loved walking over it. I will never forget the moment :) I also have to say the sunsets on the bridge look stunning.

This is an iconic landmark. Don't forget to visit Fort Point below on the SF side (free), and Fort Baker on the Sausalito side. I rented a bike at Fisherman's Wharf, visited Fort Point, rode across the bridge, visited Fort Baker, and rode into Sausalito. I took the ferry back to the Ferry building and had a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, of SF and of the seldom seen back side of Alcatraz. Great day, great adventure.

Been here during the afternoon and evening now over 3 years apart. There was some work going on in the cliffs around it. Even your worst pictures will be the best with the bridge in the back. Wear something thick because it is windy and chilly, whatever the time of the day

There was to much fog so I couldn't see any thing the walk was not worth the view.

100% must do. We cycled across it which was lovely, but walking would be great as well.

It didn t disappoint and the views were spectacular in all directions. Don t just settle for looking at it from a distance, get across it!!

Pros: epic, iconic engineering marvel. Recommend biking across to headlands loop, Sausalito and Paradise loop if you have the steam to do so.
Cons: can get crowded and is frequently shrouded in fog.

Just as you see it in the movies, it's just beautiful. However, beware of the traffic. No matter what time ,expect some delay. That being said, the bridge does look at amazing- both in the morning and night

The bridge was beautiful. Bathrooms were hard to get to when visiting, and the line was very very long. Please make sure you pee before coming or there's a good chance you will piss yourself :)

It's a great park to visit though parking can be a bit of a nightmare. I recommend parking at the old military base or you're going to drive around forever. Make sure to set aside enough time to check out the bridge and the old gun emplacements beside and under the bridge. It's a fair amount of walking so probably not the best with small kids or the elderly.

A most see when visiting San Francisco. Best views can be found near the golden gate overlook on the city side of the bridge and battery Spencer on the other side. You can also get an good look at the golden gate bridge view point across the highway from battery Spencer. Battery Spencer offers the classic view of San Francisco and the bridge, but parking is more available at the two other points.

Had a great time going over the bridge it was a first time and a long dream to drive over it. Just be extremely careful at the parking sites to get out and look at the bridge and city a lot of different people their with no mask and even seen a guy sneezing and couching into his hand and touch a lot of things out there. Just be cautious and bring a mask,gloves and hand sanitizer.

Always a classic to see in SF. bridge looked great partially covered in fog. Make sure you walk out onto it to get a different viewpoint.

A beautiful place for a walk, run or bike. The views ara amazing. Nice and affordable parking.

The sheer magnitude is breathtaking! The view of the bridge from land, and then the view of the city from the bridge is pretty awesome.

When visiting, he sure to read the plaques and boards at the start explaining how the bridge was conceptualised and then built. You don't immediately think about it, but they had to build underwater as well.

If you decide to take a walk across the bridge, or even to the first peak, know that it's going to be noisy! With all the vehicles crossing the bridge, it's LOUD.

Sadly, the bridge is also a place people go to commit suicide, so don't be surprised at the suicide prevention notices along the way.

I finally walked the GG bridge after visiting navato for 35 years! Nice but extremely loud and windy

Looks the same as in the photos. But way nicer in person. Nice to ride across the bridge in January. Multiple vantage points, especially on the north side

It looks pretty noice, just don't jump off, it really kills the vibe. It's also not good for you. Please don't kill yourself thanks

If you are in San Francisco, do not miss the opportunity of enjoying one of the most wonderful and magical places you would ever visit!

Beautiful, the view, you need to walk on it and take awssom pictures, just becareful because when is foggy it is really hard to catch the beauty.

A wonderful photo opportunity. Beautiful site. It s a must do while visiting San Francisco. Many different look outs around the area.

It s been many years since I was last in San Francisco and as a keen photographer, I ve always carried a sense of unfinished business with the Golden Gate. Fantastic views. A good hike across. You can feel the suspension bridge move when the wind is blowing strong! People from all over the world! You hear many languages.

truly an engineering marvel, breathtaking views, best on a clear sunny day. visited w/ family during SF trip, one of the must-do's in SF. The park is great and there's so much to see nearby. The walking paths make for a memorable experience. loved the experience and will visit again

Beautiful views of the ocean and Francisco Bay area. Engineering marvel with views and wonderful walking trails beyond the bridge

Sometimes famous landmarks don't live up to the hype. This one did. Driving over the bridge was absolutely thrilling, and taking in views from various vantages was really cool.

A wonderful and Icon landmark. The beauty is breathtaking. I've been over this bridge many times in my lifetime via automobile and have walked it once. You can see Alcatraz from the bridge.

The bridge is iconic in and of it'self and then add the beauty of ol mother nature and you have yourself one amazing combination.

The fog rolls in pretty heavily oftentimes, and it's pretty cold and windy year round, so I suggest you wear layers.

BE AWARE--! There is a toll of $7.50 (as of 7/2017). Oftentimes there IS NOT anyone at the toll gate and they will snap a photo of your car and send you a bill. You will have 10 days to pay it, once you receive it in the mail. If you're on an extended vacation, or don't check your mail often, it will go up to $37.50-- this happened to me for being one day late.

Check out Baker Beach once you've explored the Golden Gate Bridge. It's the ocean front under the bridge!

It was a nice experience to see the famous Golden Gate bridge in SF BUT the Sorroundings are not so clean restrooms as well are dirty and one question is why they called it Golden but the Paint is in red color just asking i think much better ti change the paint in Gold #IamALadyfromFlorida

This needs a 5 or more review why? I wanted to go to SF for a long time it sure was worth the wait I knew this bridge was amazing! You can get a view of Alcatraz island I can find a amazing view from cow hollow motor inn great views.

Iconic landmark for San Francisco. Well maintained as a tourist destination.

Has awesome views of the city landscape including sea vistas, hills all around and the rising or setting sun.

First time visitors need to be careful about the strong winds and definite nip in the air (a good 5~10 degrees) compared to the neighboring areas.

A visit must include biking or walking over the bridge to soak in the ambiance.

You have not been in San Francisco if you have not been to the Golden Gate Bridge. Engineering at its finest! There is a Visitor Center where you can buy a lot of quality souvenirs. Just take your time to enjoy the view and the cool breeze. Then you will say like the song goes, "I left my heart in San Francisco".

This bridge is an engineering and architecting wonder i have luck to had good weather then i could take good pictures, talking about the things are around the bridge you can find a pier were people can fish but also it have a kind of cave or tunnel that can be a little scary i can imagining pass thru them in the night can be a great experience, it has a great spaces to use scooter or bicycle as a nice experience, it has 2 spot to park you pay in advance to be there, also a cafeteria and souvenir store, restrooms are ok I think they can do a better effort to keep it cleaner but I understand because is a public space

You have every angle to appreciate this beautifully designed suspension bridge. Stunning views from dawn to dusk.

You can walk or bike(rental bikes ) it safely. Beautiful view from bridge. Just make sure you dress WARM. It's cold up there.

Seems to be a must visit place for tourists. To be honest, i wouldn't call this an architectural marvel. A one time visit...

Just wonderful
One of the most famous bridges in San Francisco (Golden gate)

Checked off my Bucket List. Bigger than I imagined.

Exceptional bridge in San Francisco. You will be astonished by the beauty of the bridge.

Fantastic place to visit, walk across the entire bridge and visit Sausalito

Just as stunning as I always imagined it to be, but seeing the scale from one of the many look outs is essential, and a great way to stretch your legs!

Did a round trip on the bridge with my girlfriend and it was a great experience! I might bring earmuffs and something warmer to wear next time! :)

Awesome place to have a look over the bridge. Walk over the bridge
Drive upto the mountain to take really good pics

It's a bridge how can you rate it lol? My car drove over it to get to the other side justified 5 stars

Yeah go ahead walk a couple hundred yards out on to the pedistrian walkway. Let the breeze blow you around. Look up, around then look down. Taint tightening experience...free!

Iconic as always. Now costs $7-8 dollars to cross.

i lived here for 3 years and i went on it once hahaha

Great view of the ocean, the islands and for take pictures.
People go there to exercise and have a view. So you'll find a lot of people there.

The scarlet colour of this bridge and its ornate and iconic structure bring out the sheer beauty of this bridge. How fantastic this structure is to look at is unbelievable until you see it with your own eyes. I highly recommend.

Wonderful, exciting but unfortunately we were not able to stop at Vista Point because it was closed

Great place to visit, enjoyed cool breeze and the and suspension bridge.

The bridge is an enormous sight to take in, while standing on it looking up the sheer shock of vertigo could kill a man! Looking down into the water is safe because of the fencing put up and there are food courts at the drop off point for tourists with restrooms right next door.

Dollar day is great (as I did come on said day) however for a few dollars more, you can park in valet by clubhouse and don't have to walk miles from your parking spot. I chose this option instead. Fast admission ($6 a person and kids are FREE) Pus another $8 for valet, but it's worth it.

Kinda the most important thing to visit while in San Francisco. That bridge is massive and looks impressive. We couldn't stop being fascinated. It is definitely long. So if you consider walking on it - think twice. Driving took us already 5-10 mins. Also you gotta pay toll after 6pm. Which isn't nice. We didn't know that. And they only have a sign up right before you enter the bridge. Then you can't turn back. But anyways this bridge is worth a visit and will always remain a great memory.

a California icon. well worth the trip to see up close. regardless if you are local or from out of town

You can never miss a national treasure. Prepare to walk the bride (watch out for bicycles and pedestrians coming from all directions at the same time - not a place to let pre-teens run or walk free - or they will bump into or be bumped into).

Just add a few lights to it. I went specially at night but didn't looked golden/lit .

One of the most iconic west coast attractions. In everyway it is worth the time and energy to visity. You can do it in many ways, from the North or South side, walking across, taking pictures, etc.

Take the SCA trail, short and easy and great selfy with the bridge...

Visited twice with my daughter and walked across and back. Great exercise, perfect scenery and weather. One of my favorites in San Fran

WoWee! Woo! Still flying, feels like a hawk. @wiltonwoods tweet me for guidance.
