There are few things as iconic as the Golden Gate Bridge. And, there are even fewer monuments that make for an affordable activity in San Francisco.

First off, the park itself is completely free. There is no need to spend any money at park, though they have a nice and reasonably priced food on site. Additionally, you are able to walk across the entire bridge and enjoy many great views of the city. If you re a little lucky and keen eyed, you can also see seals from the bridge. Finally, on the other side of the bridge, if your willing to go for a little bit of a walk/hike, there is a cute little marina.

All in all the park is great, the biggest downsides are that some cyclists aren t cognizant of the rules or manners, as well as traffic on the bridge is very loud (it s a well traveled important highway!). This is offset by all the great things the park has to offer, so still a 5/5.
