Michelin LifestyleFebruary 24, 2011Walk, bike or drive across the bridge. Make sure you're equipped with Michelin footwear, cycling equipment or windshield wipers for a safe journey across the most photographed bridge in the world.
The bridge is under construction, I can not walk all the way across. If you have a bike you can ride all the way across on the bike side! Great views even if it's foggy!
HISTORYMarch 30, 2010The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937, & has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and CA.
Smithsonian ChannelJune 23, 2011This art deco American icon, built at a cost that would equal nearly $1 billion today, was painted its trademark red-orange in order to stand out against the bay’s famous fog. (From Aerial America) Read more
From the warming hut on the SF side, to Sausalito and back is about four miles. It's an easy run an one best done early in the morning to watch the sun rise over the bay.
RahulApril 7, 2014To make your visit more memorable, bring your running shoes and go for a run from one end to the other and back. Distance ~5km.
Reaching the bridge from Downtown San Francisco? Take any Golden Gate Transit bus along Mission St., Civic Center, or Financial District & tell the driver to let you off at the toll plaza
Public WorksFebruary 15, 2012Walk, bike, or drive across this incredible bridge - one of the top public works projects in the United States! It's also fun to take a boat ride to get a view from the water.
Westfield San Francisco CentreJune 10, 2013Happy 76th to the Golden Gate Bridge! Come see this historic landmark featured in our free 3D light spectacular at Westfield San Francisco Centre now until July 7, 2013 at 865 Market Street!
My Great-Grandfather was one of the builders of the Golden Gate Bridge. I get a little more proud and happy when I cross it, and still think its one of the most beautiful bridges ever.
Herbie tries to throw himself off the bridge after Jim Douglas brings home a new car in the movie, "Herbie the Love Bug" and also in James Bond a View to a Kill, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Albert DiPadovaJune 14, 2012If you want to jump make sure you don't land on a surfer at Ft. Point, you might get rescued. http://forum.surfermag.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2003039&an=0&page=0
Helen SJanuary 24, 2011Do make the full crossing and explore Sausalito, very nice little town with a couple of good restaurants for lunch. Then take a ferry back to SF, beats any tourist cruise!
Marcus EricssonJuly 18, 2016Recommend renting bicycles in SF, biking over the bridge and returning via Ferry from Sausalito or Tiburon
Sean MurphyJanuary 9, 2020Get here at dawn. Beautiful sun rises (weather permitting) over the city and no crowds.
CristinaJune 29, 2016A landmark you must visit when you are in SFO. Carefull winds can get to 100 mph in the bridge.
Every day so caffeinated, I wish they were Golden Gated... Take me to the city by the bay... If I could wish upon a shooting star I would hitch a cable car to the place that I can always call my own..
Jio IgualJuly 9, 2015Lets just hope you dont catch it on a foggy day! Went there twice to get the perfect shot
Tracy FerklerJune 24, 2013What a wonderful experience it is to cross the infamous Golden Gate Bridge. I recommend you get there early and wear warm clothes.
Clarice LouieJuly 19, 2015My first time to walk over the bridge. I guess you could say that I crossed off something on my invisible bucket list.
- Herbie tries to throw himself off the bridge in the movie, "Herbie the Love Bug" and also ifeatured in James Bond's a View to a Kill, Star Trek, Herbie Rides again, & Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Fernando Freitas AlvesSeptember 22, 2014Walk across the bridge during the sunset. It is a great experience.
Fatma GencSeptember 18, 2016You have to cross this bridge when in SF. Don't forget to stop by the vistas too
Nice trail around the bridge so you can bike/walk underneath
Try to walk across before 9am and the crowds. Look down at the water, you could see sea lions and dolphins.
Windsor Vineyards Tasting RoomAugust 7, 2012Keep heading north for wine & fun in Napa! Better yet, enter for a chance to win a 4-day, 3-night Wine Country Dream Getaway for two! Deadline is August 31, 2012. Enter here: http://ow.ly/cNPT7
Alejandro Villa RenteriaJuly 6, 2015A must to visit when exploring SFO. Good to walk at almost any time.
BroadcomDecember 7, 2011The Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco with Marin County. Save on tolls by carpooling between 5am-9am and 4pm-6pm weekdays. Tip from Broadcom, Connecting Everything.

There are dolphins and seals in the water below the bridge. Just pay attention as you are walking across, and you will see at least one.
Christoffer EngströmJuly 6, 2015Rent a bike if you want to see the bridge! Otherwise it's not much more then another place to check of..
MazdaOctober 28, 2010The famous International Orange color was originally used as a sealant for the bridge. Many locals persuaded Morrow to paint the bridge in the vibrant orange color instead of standard silver or gray.
Its windy and it is worth a ride or a run ! Don't forget your headphones and prepare your playlist
Island BruinApril 27, 2017Walk up from the Warming Hut for great views. And watch out for runaway tourists on bikes on the bridge. Stay dry.
Mayank KumarJuly 4, 2012The best way to visit is to go to the view point on the hill nearby at midnight on a full moon night. Surreal!
