World Famous Landmark in SF

World Famous Landmark in SF

Pros: The bridge is beautiful. There is no other alternative. It shortens the distance between SF and Marin/North Bay. Beautiful view of the city of SF. Very distinct shade of red. Money printer for San Francisco.

Cons: Traffic can be absolutely horrible for daily commuters and tourists. Also, the bridge is very narrow, so be careful driving and walking on it.

Tips: Come on off hours during the weekday for the least crowded views and best scenery. Walk the bridge, but be careful of cyclists and other pedestrians. Bring a jacket and clothes; it is always VERY Cold on the bridge, even if it seems nice and sunny. Bring a camera!

Overall: It is a world famous landmark, the very definition for some of SF. It is beautiful and plays an important role in SF both culturally and economically.
