The Golden Gate bridge is a very handy way to get to San Francisco from Marin. It beats swimming.

Its an eye spectacle. Its more amazing at night they say

A bit rainy, windy but overall it was good experience. Food, gifts etc were a bit pricey but the parking if you found a spot, was reasonably priced.

I love architecture, but the cost of getting the transponder needed to pass over the bridge about ruined my low budget day trip. Then, once you're on the bridge, there's too much traffic to really be able to take it all in.

It was awesome to visit the bridge.. but the lights are less in the night.. but a paradise for thieves. You must be careful to park your car without any costly object to seen in the car. Must keep an eye on your car. The colour of the bridge is not too shine that we used to see in pictures. It's the one of the most important place in the world to visit but the maintaince is not up to the mark. I found little bit disappointment about the caring for the bridge. For the visitors there are cleaned restroom and gift shop. I found some of awesome place to take photo of the bridge. There are ways for the padistarians and bike routes. It's really enjoyable for the tourists.

So iconic. I enjoyed showing this icon to my Florida girls. It did not disappoint. Free parking too.

My first time visiting back in February! It did not disappoint! Was even greater than I could ever have though. Looks a lot smaller in photos than real life!

Unbelievable views, great experience! Golden gate has been part of my bucket list and will always be a place I would want to visit.

Definitely a must to drive over if visiting. There's a great place to stop on the other side to take pictures. The view is excellent.

We were in San Francisco, so of course we had to go see the Golden Gate Bridge. It is worth the drive to see it. If you would like to get a good picture during daylight take it from the San Francisco Viewing side and at night take it from the opposite side to get the optimum picture.

I'm an Illinois girl but San Francisco is where my story begins. I recently took my first trip back to the bay area since 1973 - funny how the memories of your history never really disappear.

A very nice place to visit in San Francisco. Very scenic. My family thoroughly enjoyed our time there

There are few things that make a better view than golden gate bridge on nice clear day. Amazing place.

As a Bay Area kid, the Bridge is symbolic to Northern California. It's an inexpensive place to visit, and we enjoy taking cousins and other relatives to see it whenever they visit. There are a bunch of photo opportunities around the bridge and on top of it, too. There is a little section near the entrance to the Bridge where visitors can park their car (parking fee is pretty inexpensive, based off of how many hours of parking you need), and in the little section, there are facts about the Bridge and why it's so symbolic. You can also start walking across the Bridge from there. It is pretty chilly at all times of day, so you might want to pack a jacket or two. There are really great coffee and tea options around the Bridge, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own. It's honestly pretty nostalgic to visit it because I've been there since I was a kid.

This the best place in SF recommend it for any one who s visiting SF

The Golden Gate Bridge was just lovely. No matter from what angle I looked at it, I was left in aww from the beauty of this historic creation. living that moment is one of a kind and unique. This bridge has the insurance that you will have a wonderful time. I recommended visiting this bridge if you have the time to.

I peed against the wind.... Big, Big, Big mistake !

My advice: Pee With the Wind !

Great place, truly iconic. I will definitely come back here to walk with the love of my life hand in hand. This has been my dream since I saw this bridge first time. It s the longest of all bridges that I have ever been to. Amazing views for the bridge. Wonderful experience.

A must stop for many people. It is crowded and can be challenging to find parking but worth it. There are signs sharing historical information everywhere. The area showing the seismic impact on a beam was incredible

Love this place in the evening, wind gusts and sunset. Beautiful place to enjoy with your family.

This place is such a wonder. Especially when the fog sets in and you re surrounded by an ethereal mist.

Make sure to bring your best hipster filter and cozy sweater for the most optimal experience!

This bridge is an ode to American engineering and the amazing creations humans can dream up! Take some time to respect what it represents and be inspired by it!

What a GREAT WEEK!! Sun Sun Sun!!
Enjoy!!

Spent the day in the Bay Area had the need to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge I recommended if you go to the city you got to walk across Golden Gate Bridge beautiful

It was great it was a bit crowded you could not enjoy your bike ride.

Its always amazing to actually see the Golden Gate Bridge in person since it's shown on so many films and television shows. It's an architectural wonder too, so a must see. Don't just drive across, park at the viewing station on the north side in Marin County and then walk the bridge while taking in the views of San Francisco.

Love visiting the Golden Gate Bridge. Fort point is a favorite stop for my children. Really enjoyed my recent trip and a visit to the Marin side and hiking under the bridge. The history and old military housing is incredible. The view from the headlands through the Golden Gate, day or night is spectacular.

Historical value. Military barracks to museum for the bridge with amazing details of man made creation. Alcatraz on one side and pretty sunset on other.

Better in summer than in Winter...we were expecting a bridge make out of gold. We didn't even get it in red, the colour we got was white. Well done San Francisco! (We came in January)

Beautiful bridge, great to ride your bike on for a perfect view of San Francisco definitely five stars

Amazing ENGINEERING work highest suspension long highway and most Visited places in my life I also surprised when see at first I am also very happy

Neat to see! It was a foggy day, but the bike ride accross the bridge was an experience!

Great bridge, got us across the bay no problems.
Doesn't wobble, nice and dry

Wonderful views of the Golden Gate bridge. DO NOT drive to this place. There is a free shuttle from the Palace of arts which it convenient after walking from fishermans wharf.

A myth of course. Terrific landscape, very emotional spot.

You might as well just take the bay bridge, but hey, this one is red.

We took a $15 ferry from Fisherman s Ward a block away from Coddmother to see it. We were able to bring drinks aboard and took amazing pictures.

Since it opened in 1937, this 1.7-mile suspension span between San Francisco and Marin counties has become one of the most beloved bridges in the world. A work of art, an engineering marvel, and an American icon, the Bridge is flanked on both ends by the natural beauty of the Golden Gate National Parks. Enjoy an exhilarating, but often chilly, walk across it. Keep in mind that the best place to take pictures of Golden Gate Bridge is Fort Point.

Well, what can I say about the Golden Gate Bridge. It s magnificent, humongous, the symbol of San Francisco. I am in love with golden gate. Go walk around the golden gate park, the museum. Make sure you carry a jacket and Beene, it can get very windy around there. The best part is walking in the bridge, I loved it. It s like 30min drive from the center of SF, you can take an Uber or Lift to get here.

Something everyone needs to do at least once if you visit SF or if you live in the Bay Area. Walking across history is amazing.

Great place to come and visit with an incredible view of the Bay. It's not too long ago walking on a nice day it can really be beautiful.

Biked here from the GG Park. There's plenty of signage to direct here. Once i was on the bridge it was tight between pedestrians and bikers, but we made it work. A couple of people took pictures for me. Beautiful.

Beautiful, iconic site. Must visit, great to walk or bike across. Can be cool, but when the weather is great it's got amazing views of the bay.

The wonderful landmark you cannot miss while visiting San Francisco. So beautiful bride and nice view surrounding. More small spots you could find to explore and take photos. Free to visit!

Visiting fair is like breathing in a extra fresh clean breath of air.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a technical masterpiece that can only be described in superlative terms. When the bridge was completed in 1937 it was the world's longest and tallest suspension bridge.
But above all this masterly example of engineering is a magnificent monument set against a beautiful backdrop.

Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933. The bridge, which was designed by engineer Joseph Strauss was built to connect San Francisco with Marin County across the 1600 meter (+5000ft) wide strait known as the Golden Gate which links the San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean.
The dimensions of the bridge defied all imagination. The total length of the bridge is 8,981ft or 2,737 m. The main span between the two enormous towers is 4,200 ft or 1,280 meters long, making the Golden Gate Bridge the world's largest suspension bridge,
a record that would stand until 1964 when the Verrazano-Narrows bridge in New York was completed.
The two beautiful Art Deco towers are almost 820ft or 250 meters tall, of which more than 20 meters is below the sea level. The road, six lanes and 90 ft / 27m wide is an amazing 220 ft or 67 meters above the water level. It is supported by enormous cables, anchored in hundreds of bars locked into concrete blocks with a pulling power of 25 million kg. The two cables have a total length of 2,332 meters and a diameter of 90 centimeters. They are woven from 27,572 threads of steel with a total length that equals three times the earth's circumference.

They need to put better sings so people don't pass by fastpass

Incredible bridge across beautiful harbor entry. Great views in all directions. A "must see" for visitors to the City.

What's not to like... It is what you expect it to be. A San Francisco Icon

Didn't get to walk across but there are a few great spots for the cliche pics you are looking for! Enjoy

View's from either side of bridge. Fun for all, destination stop.

Breathtaking views, truly iconic. Wonderful trails. However, if you're going to hike over the bridge, bring earplugs because the traffic is deafening.

Had an amazing time here, a MUST go to if you're on vacation or looking for something to do. Great sightseeing and friendly environment around you.

Lovely views and had an amazing time cycling on it!

Cool bridge. With nice view. It's a nice tourist attraction.

Even that we had a windy weather it was amazing!
So cold on the bridge, but it worth!

Update- Dec 2018- This is one of my favorite institutions to photograph, the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a masterful piece of iron works that connects San Francisco to Sausalito in Marin County. Most of my photographs have been below the bridge. However, this time I found some great spots for evening shots of the bridge at rush hour.

There were old gun fortifications on both sides of the bridge to protect it. The remnants remain and provide very good views of the bridge from above day or night. Attached is two photographs taken this past week, one from each fortification. The third photo was taken from Treasure Island, which requires you cross the Oakland Bridge and deposit yourself on the island in the middle of the bay.

Its iconic. Its one of the modern wonders of the industrial era world.
As a generational San Franciscan. When i am coming home from a long trip from anywhere. Flying in, bus, or train. When i am coming home i make it a point to see my bridges. My heart melts when i see the inviting welcome home of the Ports of San Francisco, my and few lefts City by the Bay.
Its an obvious MUST see, then adventure around the city to see if you can still see it from different vantage points.

Great attraction in SF. Tried the bike ride over the bridge. Great memories. Must see in SF.

MUST SEE! Amazing view! Being in San Francisco and not seeing the Golden Gate is a big No-No (you gonna have a bad time). Be careful, a lot of bikes an people stopping without warning to take a picture. Take a jacket, it's windy there!

I love seeing great landmarks and this place did not disappoint even late at night.

It is a beautiful place to walk. The view is stupendous. There is a free shuttle to go around the Presidio hills, Crissy field and also one to go downtown

Super fun to stop and see. I wish there was an easier way to pay the toll before you go through it for visitors but it was still super fun! We were able to pay our two tolls online so we shouldn't be mailed a bill.

While I have always viewed the Golden
Gate Bridge from a distance, I was pleasantly
surprised by the enormity and beauty of it
I walked the entire lenght of the bridge and
back. I marveled at how long it has stood
the test of time and the number of times that
it has been viewed across the world. You
must see the Golden Gate Bridge with your
own two eyes to appreciate its splendor.
