What define California the best are its culture, climate and charm. And obviously, the charm and picture-perfect panorama of San Francisco s Golden Gate Bridge has made it #1 destination on every visitor s list. Once called "the bridge that couldn't be built" due to strong winds, fog, rock and treacherous tides, today it is one the seven wonders of the modern world. People say nowhere else is the up and down, both the ecstasy and agony, of the American experience so distilled as you can feel at and around GGB. The iconic bridge and its surrounds speak to the lows as well as the highs of American life.
