The Golden Gate Bridge was one of the best places we visited in San Francisco. The red paint really made the bridge stand out from the nature, and the pictures were absolutely stunning. Even though there was wind, cold, and many people, being here with family was definitely one of the most important memories I have made! I would definitely recommend taking a bus up to the Visitor Center and having a great time.

You can't visit San Francisco without visiting the GG bridge. We parked at the north end (get there early to find parking) and walked across the span to the toll booths. We had perfect weather for the day, a little cool as we expected, but the views and experience were amazing. At the south end there is a nice cafe, and you can walk down to the old fort under the south anchorage. And it is free!

Beautiful iconic tourist spot. We managed to walk across on a sunny day and saw dolphins and a small shark in the harbour. Be mindful - not much transport options to get back unless you have a pass for the hop on bus. There's a nice cafe spot with a lookout on the city side but only street vendors on the far side.

We visited in December and were extremely lucky to have amazingly clear views of the bridge from the North view point. Walk along the pedestrian walkway to get the feeling of the bridge. The south view point gives you the view of the bridge from a lower perspective. Much better to take pictures from this point before noon as the sun is behind you.

We, being Michiganders, love the Mackinac bridge and feel an allegiance to Michigan but felt that the Golden Gate pales in comparison. Sorry San Francisco. We do love this city and all the sites and fab restaurants.

What an amazing structure. An icon of engineering that you can walk on and touch. Strolling across it was easy and gave fantastic photo opportunities back to the city. It took us about an hour from the Vista Point South to the Lonely Sailor Statue for yet more photos. We then walked down Alexander Ave into Sausalito which was another 45 minutes. We needed to get to the ferry before the last departure but if you have time, there are plenty of places to eat or drink and admire the views. The ferry was another 30 minute ride back to the city - 7 dollars if you're as old as me, 14 if you're younger. Get it on your bucket list.

Do not visit SF and miss this. It is global icon and a feat of engineering. Having read some of the reviews, you don’t need a tour bus or bikes and you can do this all for free. We got the public bus there but that was all we had to pay. There is a visitor centre and lots of external information on the history, design and construction of the bridge. You can also see or walk down to Fort Mason. We walked about a third of the way across the bride and the views were spectacular. After that we walked through the Presidio which offered brilliant alternative views and was very pretty

WOW. have wanted to see this in real life so long, and it didn't disappoint! could have stayed looking at it for much longer. You cannot visit San Francisco and not go see this close up. AMAZING.

I was prepared to not be wowed by this for some reason. But I love bridges and pictures don't do this one justice! Pro-tip: view it from Battery Spencer park (we came from the north). This was an awesome spot with a fence full of locks. Lots of wind the day we were there but the bridge was the star of the show!

My wife and I spent our2020 anniversary in San Francisco and when seeing this magnificent bridge, it was a wonderful and amazing site to see. To think of the work and engineering that went in to this is mind boggling. I truly recommend seeing it.
