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

We decided we might as well see the Golden Gate Bridge while we were there, since... more

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
