Absolutely a must visit for everyone. Bucket list or whatever. The views are magnificent. And the experience is very core to San Francisco's image.
Go to the parks at each end of the bridge at least if you don't have much time. The views from.these two spots tickle your eyes plenty. Prepare for picture taking. There is a reason the Golden Gate is one of the most photographed bridges in the world.
If you have a little more time. Check the Presidio on the south end of the bridge. It's an old military base from waaaaay back. Pre world wars. The north side of the bridge is also epic with epic views. More retired military base. Climb around an old gun battery. Hike the edge of the continent and look out over the endless blue of the Pacific. Totally breathtaking. I can sit up at Battery Mendel for days lost in the view.
don't forget a jacket!! It gets cold even on a sunny day. Cold and windy!
Be respectful and clean up after yourself!
Have fun and enjoy

It's an awesome bridge but it is unfortunately full of cyclists in the form of tourists who can't ride and entitled wannabee pros trying to race around small children. If you are planning to visit, park your bike in a rack. The nearby fort is also worth walking up to.

This big bridge is the pride of San Francisco. It's super iconic and rightfully so. Because if this, expect for it to live up to your expectations and also plan accordingly. Traffic will be heavy during rush hour and expect to see many tourists. The bridge is really quite the marvel to look at so be sure to spend some time on it. Also be careful if you decide to bike across it as you might end up walking your bike for must the time because of all the people who are walking on it. That being said, this is a must visit for San Francisco!

This was an awesome bridge to see and totally worth the trip however don t cross the bridge if you don t have to because on the drive back they have a toll and the only way for you to pay the toll is to have the California toll sticker or they ll mail it to you and they ll tack on a huge fee

Have been taking people who come for SF for first time, but am never bored of being here. It's amazing to see, walk around enjoy the cool wind. I would normally suggest people to go between 10am and 3pm to avoid fog and see beautiful views of the city, bay, islands near by, the surfers etc

Went on a spur of the moment trip to San Fransico. Had a great time with the family. We didn't do the bus tours or anything, just Googled where to park and we were on our way!
We had a handicap placard and parking in the lot next to the Visitor's Center.
There was a great view of the city and Alcatraz.

We had been a few days prior and walked through some of the presidio trails, whilst doing so the fog rolled in quickly so we deferred strolling bridge until another time.

We returned on a slighty clearer but still foggy day, this made for some great pictures actually. It can get quite breezy up on the bridge so keep that in mind if you're a little unsteady.

It's also quite clear how the walkway should be shared with cyclists; proper cyclists had no issues with this and used the bridge for transport correctly. Unfortunately the tourists on two wheels are a different proposition entirely, most of which clearly struggled to even mount the bike never mind steer it straight. So be aware of idiots wobbling, veering, snaking, ignoring rules, etc...it also doesn't help they attempt to poorly cycle whilst holding a phone at arm's length.

We walked over the bridge and it was beautiful. Fantastic path for both walk it and cycling, we did both. I didn't expect it to be so cold mid summer! Windy, cold and misty - apparently this is pretty typical. If you're going to do it, even if the sun is shining 1 mile away, dress warm

Golden Gate Bridge tends to be foggy in the morning and then clears up in the afternoon, so I would recommend going after lunch! Outside the visitors' center there are several hands-on exhibits and a bit of the history of the bridge. The bathrooms are also located here, but note that they are not open 24/7, so keep that in mind if you are going later in the evening!
