The best thing you can do is hire bikes from 'Blazin Saddles' (in various locations around fisherman's wharf and at end of one of the cable car stops) and cycle over. You get the ferry back from Sausilito. It is great fun, and designated lane for cyclists. more

Built before today's technology exists, this bridge is a marvel itself. Having watch documentaries on the building of the Golden Gate it is stunning to see in person. We both walked and drove across the bridge finding both experiences fun and rewarding (and driving took us to Muir Woods!). The Golden Gate Bridge is an icon only found in San... more

With the beautiful sea on one side and huge bay on other side, this bridge is perhaps the best bridge in the world. There are spectacular views of this bridge and the sea around from the hilltops view points. Apart from this bridge there are many tourist attractions near by such as Alcatraz prison, Gherardelli's chocolates etc.... A must visit. more

Out of all the things to do in San Francisco walking the Golden Gate Bridge was my second favorite thing to do after Alcatraz. Its amazing and something you must do in your lifetime. We walked the bridge about half way and back, and we also drove over the bridge. Its not the same experience walking the bridge is a... more

We recently returned from a trip to Oakland, CA where were were for a wedding. We had an extra day after the wedding before we went home and decided to take the short drive to San Fransisco to see what they had to offer! We decided we might as well see the Golden Gate Bridge while we were there, since... more

Visiting the Golden Gate Bring may easily be the highlight of your trip! At the right time of year, it is beautiful to be there. It is spectacular--don't forget to bring a camera! On a clear summer day you will get great pictures, but may not have as much luck on a foggy day. There is so much to see... more

The Golden Gate Bridge didn't go down too well for me due to one major problem - fog. It was a nice sunny day, perfect for GGB photos, and from a distance the bridge wasn't too foggy, so I decided to walk there from Fisherman's Wharf (since public transport links to the bridge aren't great - you would think there... more

This is one of the most identifiable icons not only in the United States, but in the world. I was in San Francisco twice and both times I sat at Crissy Field and both times I drove over it, all I could think the entire time was "holy moly, I'm actually at the Golden Gate Bridge". more

A must see in San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge. It's beauty, construction and sheer size is incredible. It also offers spectacular views of the bay as well as Sausalito, Alcatraz, etc. However, if you want to make your experience even better, Bike the Bridge! After reading many reviews, we decided to bike the bridge. We rented bikes on... more
