We walked the bridge (over and back) and we were lucky to have perfect weather but the bridge and view were amazing... Certainly don't get nothing like that in Perth WA!

A must to see but it's a bridge! The Bay Side bridge is more impressive with it's double level highway.

No joke, no hyperbole. The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's engineering marvels and you can visit it, free of charge; don't visit San Francisco and pass this up! First, wear layers. While it might be warm and sunny where you are at the beginning of your day, it is guaranteed to be windy on the GG Bridge,... More

Visiting the Golden Gate is a must. There are a number of tour companies that will take you or you can simply rent a car and go yourself. What you need to know: 1. There are viewing areas on both sides of the bridge. You can park and walk out onto the bridge from both sides. You can get great... More

For a great view of San Francisco, I would recommend crossing the bridge. Although the next day it was very foggy and you couldn't even see the bridge!

We had a wonderful flying visit around the downtown area seeing all the famous stores, Macy's etc. we were travelling by car so decided to take a trip over the wonderful Golden Gate Bridge. As others have said it is a windy area at... More

Make sure you take time to walk the bridge! It is something you must do when in San Fran. Great photo opportunities.

I'm so pleased that not only did I get a chance to be on the Golden Gate bridge, I actually had the opportunity to drive across it (and back again at the end of my vacation in wine country). The bridge is beautiful. As I was sitting in traffic, I had a lot of time to study it and marvel... More

Traveling over the bridge, whether by wheels or feet, is something you will never forget. The trip is best when the weather cooperates with clear, blue skies. Walking can be fun, but remember to dress accordingly as the wind can be very strong. It is a beautiful bridge with views of the bay and the city that are more than... More
