My daughter and I were in San Francisco for a few girlie days away and we vowed to walk across the bridge. Having sailed under it, though, on a boat trip, the day before and experiencing the very breezy conditions, I have to say we were a little nervous about walking over it. We needn't have been. We got a... more

Walk it, bike it , drive it enjoy the park but you must experience it. There is nothing like what we experienced when the fog rolled in around us while we were stopped waiting o pay our toll. It was like what you would see in a movie and suddendly the fog was all around us. more

A great experience, I biked the bridge on a glorious Sunday in mid-June, 2009. Rented from Blazing Saddles on Hyde Street. Very helpful and reasonable rates. Check out their web site for more info and discounts. I am middle aged, haven't biked in several years but am in reasonable shape. I biked the bridge without too much huffing and puffing... more

I crossed the bridge on a hop-on-hop-off tour bus and it was amazing! The stop before crossing is a perfect place for incredible photos. I didn't have the opportunity to cross it on foot but it seems to be a really cool experience! more

This bridge has it all. We walked the whole thing and it rated high on our adventure list. On the Marin side there is a large turnout where the views of the city and bay are outstanding. Be prepared for wind and in the morning: billowing fog that hides the towers. Our guidebook, the Golden Gate Trailblazer, had some wonderful... more

After years of visiting SFO...I was looking for something off-the-beaten track to do...this was perfect - a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Simply stunning. Bring a windbreaker and an extra layer for warmth. I was there in mid-May. Even though it was inching up to mid-80 degrees, it was foggy, chilly and windy on the bridge. more

I hate renting cars so we took a cab to the golden gate gift shop (was only 15 dollars from Union Square). Then we walked across the bridge (watch out for the bikers) and it was alot of fun. To get home buses stop near the gift shop very often, so we took the 28 line back towards fishermans warf.... more

Visiting Golden Gate Bridge was one of many highlights in San Francisco, where I visited several times throughout my life. I have crossed the Bay several times on it, both by bicycle and by foot. There is a shared cycle/footpath alongside the highway, on the east side, facing towards the city. The name can be misleading, the bridge is not... more

The Golden Gate Bridge is a must see if you are in the area. Driving across is does no justice, you have to walk/bike across is to really enjoy it. The view is just out of this world, there really is no other way to describe it. And you're so high up it sort of gave me a thrill just... more

As a keen photographer I enjoyed the freedome of biking round and over the Golden Gate Bridge. We hired our bikes from Blazing Saddles who were very helpful and like previous reports we did it on a saturday and found the serious bikers quite off putting. The cycle path is narrow and at times you are competing with head winds.... more
