Its an engineering excellence. How could someone miss Golden Gate bridge while visiting San Francisco or bay area. This is an iconic place.
I'm sure no one loves to be stuck in traffic or slow moving traffic and sitting in car bored, hoping to see traffic cleared. But the scene is different here!! There's not a single time I thought not to be stuck in the traffic on this bridge. Every time I drive through the bridge and get stuck in traffic, I enjoy the views and beauty.
There are two parking spots - upper and lower, but is always busy. Finding a spot is very hard. Best way to get to bridge without parking/driving hassle is to use hop on bus. You could enjoy the spots in downtown as well as convenient to get down at the bridge and enjoy the time.
Walking on this bridge gives amazing views of bay area, water and Alcatraz island. Make sure you dress warm while walking on the bridge or at least carry a jacket, as winds here are very strong and are very chilly. If you are lucky enough, you could spot a whale or a dolphin below the bridge :)
Biking along the bridge is a different experience too but will be difficult due to sheer volume of visitors every day.
Currently, maintenance is in progress in upper part of the bridge. One lane is closed and traffic gets really bad at peak hours. Also, with this maintenance in progress, upper parking spot is closed.
