Beautiful as the sunlight breaks through the clouds lighting sections of the bridge. Great views of the city and traffic on the water.

Breathtaking views in night from the scenic overlook...one should definitely go this scenic overlook which is right next to bridge towards Marin county side. Shortest and fastest way to go is take Alexander Ave exit on right and take left to come back on to the Golden Gate bridge and immediate right...drive slow as high chances you might miss the exit.

Seen many times in pictures but to experience it first hand being there is just something else. Its long, magnificent, and hell of an engineering done to make this stand out from the rest of the bridges around the world.

There are numerous spots for photo ops on all sides of the bridge. you can walk, bike, run, or just stroll to get the perfect photos on this bridge.

It s a magical place! A wonderful view! And a definitely place that you have to visit!!!!!

Must visit, great experience crossing bridge and looking at views.

A national treasure. Highly recommend walking across the bridge if you are able. That is the best way to really experience the impressive bridge

A tourist spot worth visiting even if you are not a history buff.

We visited this beautiful iconic bridge on what started to be a very foggy morning. After being there for about half an hour the fog lifted and the sun shone through and we were able to see its impressive structure. We parked on the south side where there is a car park, cafes, gift shops and toilets all within walking distance from the car park. You can also walk and cycle onto the bridge as well as drive across it. This has an electronic toll with no cash collecting toll booths. So don't forget to pay the toll. You can find more details on golden gate tolls web site. Whilst on our trip we were also able to capture glimpses from the Oakland/San Francisco ferry, docking at pier 41 and also the ferry that went to Alcatraz. Admittedly it wasn't a full view but both Alcatraz and the Oakland to pier 41 gave a enchanted feel as the fog flowed gently over the bridge revealing parts of the bridge and its towers. I'm sure on a better day you would be able to see a lot more.

Must see attraction in the Bay Area. One of the most beautiful places in the United States, the bridge is simply amazing. Beware though, in the summer, the fog can make it really hard to see. I saw it in the winter and was blown away because I could see the full view and it was less crowded... saw it in the summer, and while fun, definitely more crowded and more fog! For another great view of the bridge, checkout the Hawk Hill overlook.

I didn't notice anthing particulary special other that its color.

Loveee the view especially from a boat early in the morning!!

The famous Golden State Bridge of the Warriors, you would love to visit here first before other places around San Francisco.

Excellent engineering. Majestic manmade structure. Has been my dream to visit this grand bridge. Enjoyed my walk on it with a beautiful view of the surroundings.

First time here from Kentucky and this place was absolutely amazing!!!

Where do I begin with this Bridge! As a photographer we dream of all these things to see and places to go. I was very excited to see this bridge and little did I know it is more beautiful than pictures could ever show. There is never a bad edge to capture a photo of this incredible architecture. I could visit this every single day of my life and it would never get old. Be prepared as it is a VERY tourist area lots of people and cars especially on the weekends. No cost to view the bridge of even fort pointe. Well worth a few hours of your day to see all the many views this place has to offer, with great history.

One of the outstanding sites in the entire world. Marvelous to behold even in fog so thick that you cannot see it. It is always less busy before noon and if you come later the wind picks up and it becomes positively cold. Parking is difficult look in the lot just west of 101 in the Presidio.

Really amazing to see! Had a lovely experience here and it wasn't too crowded. Really nice walk with endless views of the bridge from the start of the welcome center all the way to Fisherman's wharf. It's about 1 hour but very nice!

This place is the beauty of San Francisco, famous bridge world wide this bridge has good views and the best part is the view of the whole san Francisco city from here is incredible.

So iconic...a must see for anyone making a list of things to see in California.

Beautiful! Definitely a must see when visiting San Francisco.

Spectacular! So very fortunate that it was a sunny and wow NO FOG! Can t leave SF without seeing and admiring this historical structure. Bring a sweater because it will be windy. Be mindful of the cyclists and walk on one side -share the road ;)

Romantic walk from one end to the other with my husband. View of Bay bridge is more pretty.

It was a great experience. The view is really beautiful and mesmerizing. Clicked a lot of great pictures and had fun walking on the bridge. Its cliche for a reason. A visit is must!!!

A wonderful sightseeing spot and a must-go place once you are in San Francisco. It will be a little bit cold and windy so make sure to wear warm clothes. The restrooms are quite dirty, though.

Unicycling across the Golden Gate Bridge was awesome! It was the end of a 1,000 mile ride from Seattle to San Francisco, for Disabled American Veterans and the Firefighter Burn Fund. I will be back to unicycle from San Francisco to Key West April 1st thru July 4th, 2020! Instagram @rhinoventures

It's a must seen when you are im San Francisco. There are so many different point of views to have a look and take a photo of the bridge, but i definitly recommend to pass it by bicycle or by foot to get the full eyperience.

Definitely one of the most famous landmark in the United states.

Beautiful no matter how many times I go! Good for generations to come!

This is definitely a must go place in SF, but let me give you a special tip: There might be days where you go visit and it s completely foggy that you can t see the bridge, my advise is to start crossing it (either by foot or bike) and you ll see how the fog disappears, being able to admire the wonderful view this bridge has!

It is absolutely breathtaking, I ll never get tired of coming to this place.

One of the most fabulous landmark in San Francisco! I didn't even realize how gorgeous it was before I went there, absolutely amazing place! I just walked 1/3 of the bridge as the total length of the bridge is too long. But it still made me a lot of unforgettable times. Cheers for San Francisco & the Golden Gate Bridge!

The bridge is a beautiful and iconic part of San Francisco. Driving across the bridge is cool. Going across on a tour bus with the guide giving much information is cool. Walking across is cool. I enjoyed renting a bike and riding across the most.

Amazing views of the bay, the city, and Alcatraz.

Iconic. Every time, especially from the hilltop, the view of the gate is awe inspiring. Appears so close that one can reach out and touch it. Welcome to the bay area!

Walked across the bridge. Great view of the bay, city and mountains.

Probably San Francisco's most popular landmark.

Great views from each side, my favorite though is the North side up the hills - only accessible via car, or bike if you're into climbing steep hills.

I'm in love with this place! We went before dawn. Can't wait to get back. I would love to rent bikes next time.

Enjoyable one mile walk across the Golden Gate suspension bridge with great views of the San Francisco Bay area.

Beautiful engineering masterpiece and must lifetime must see.
Come prepared for cold windy conditions.

San Francisco Is my dream city. I just wanna visit here once. I'm sure that once in my life, I would be grateful to do so..!

6/30/19 = Always busy and full pack , there is a $2 parking everywhere , but get ready for a walk , long line if you use restroom . Very nice weather when we did the visit . When you planning to visit make sure you have enough patience in traffic and pedestrian .

Best chance for seeing whales in the morning hours!

Absolutely lives up to the hype. Absolutely stellar and I hope to return soon.

Loved it, great accomplishment for the time it was built!

A must if you visit San Francisco. Beautiful views and great architecture.

It is definitely the best bridge between Marin County and San Francisco.

Certainly a must do if you are around SF... you may also try to cross it by bike till the beautiful island of sausalito

I'll give it a two thumbs up for such a beautiful scenery. We almost thought that it would be a cloudy day because of the rain before the day we went here. Definitely going back here with my family.

Amazing. Beautiful. Unbelievable. Walked across it both ways. Was very cold and foggy but loved every minute.

This beautiful red-colored bridge is a historical landmark and so majestic up front - a must visit if you're in the San Francisco area and if you can catch it on a clear day when "Karl the Fog" (the thick awful blanket-like fog that is a permanent resident of SFO) is absent. Better still, if you can walk across the bridge, on a clear day, even better. Sausolito, the quaint historical town is located on the other side of the bridge.

No words to describe the experience. Really love it.

One word

AMAZING!

One of the most iconic bridges in the world, so expect a crowd and most of your day spent exploring the many vantage points and relaxing areas around this gorgeous landmark.

The view is simply spectacular! You can hike around the park, walk across the bridge (which takes about 45 mins to an hour if you are taking selfies the whole time), or even just drive across. All the options are great

No amount of pictures can do this Justice! It's BEAUTIFUL!

What a fantastic view. It s really great! Don t forget the sweater & jeans

Its huge! Go at night and during the day if you can swing it bc it will give you two completely different perspectives of the bridge. The visitor center had a variety of pretty decent priced souvenirs. There was also a nice pathway where you could walk and learn about the history of the bridge and had a couple hands on activities for the kids. Definitely worth the drive to see!

A proper walk from the commercial centre down to the piers, along the water all the way to the Golden Gate bridge. Crossing, seeing the Pacific & wonderful views at an impressive structure. Just beware that the opposite side has a bus service taking you back however it's less than frequent.

A lovely city...

Beautiful. As a California native, I have made many of trips to SF bay. I always have a wonderful time here on the bridge. The parking is the only real complaint I have. It can be a headache and a competition with others for a spot.

This is the main tourist attraction in San Francisco, I reckon. Yes, it almost looks like what you see in the movie, very nice to be your selfie's background, it provides so many photo taking spots as well. However, it's not really easy to get there, there's no direct BART. I found that the bus route was also quite confusing, but trust me, it's worth it. They have a very good souvenir shop to nearby.

The golden gate bridge is worth every minute of time spent getting there... Taking the little side roads to view the bridge from various different view points is well worth the time. I recommend a full day and maybe 2 to really take in everything this area has to offer.... Try a picnic on a beach watching the boats and the traffic accross the bridge... Highly recommended!

Every major tourist city has one: An iconic sight that for generations has defined the city. The Golden Gate is that for San Francisco.

The views from the rest areas around it are stunning, the bridge is a beauty, and if you drive up to Hawk Hill just beyond the bridge you'll be greeted with an amazing view of the bridge, with the bay and the city behind it - it's the vista that has been immortalized and graces many living room walls.

If you're wondering why the bridge is international orange while it's called the golden gates .. it lends its name from the gold rush era, where the boats would enter the bay from the ocean and that was 'the gates to the gold'.

Simply superb, produces new scenic looks even in 100th visit..

Wonderful experience! When you visit San Francisco, a city full of sights and beauty, make sure you take the time to visit Golden Gate. I encourage you to learn more about the history of this bridge before you visit it, so your Golden Gate experience will be complete!

Very crowded but at the same time awesome to see in person.

What can I say... One of the most beautiful structures in the world. Especially when you can see it :)

This is an amazing bridge from every angle, but if you are going to bike across it make sure you pick a day based on how windy and cold it might be. The ride is longer and harder when it's cold and foggy and the wind can make it difficult to bike around pedestrians and experienced bikers that zoom by you.

This is by far the best place I've been to in California. I really enjoy renting a bike from South San Francisco, riding through the embarcadero and cross the bridge towards Sausalitos.

I have lunch there and then ride back (you can take the ferry back of you're too tired).

If the weather is nice (sometimes it can be foggy) you can enjoy the beautiful view from the bridge over the ocean on the left and right.

Strongly recommended (by bike!)

Great historical place you can walk, bike, or drive on however the bike and walking lanes are together and some cyclists are riding fast and can easily become a safety hazard. Besides that you get a beautifully breathtaking view when on the bridge that is second to none. Definitely a must do if you are in the area with at least an hour to kill. Also I recommend a jacket or a warm sweater or is usually windy with all the cars driving by.

Seriously Google? Do we need to review the Golden gate now, lol , 5* ofcourse

Amazing place to click great pictures. Must visit if you are planning to visit San Francisco Bay area.

the bridge is so old, but still worth a trip, beautiful
