Best way to see and enjoy the bridge is to drive to either side park your vehicle (Note the toll is for southbound traffic only and is $6.00 per car) and then walk across. There is usually plenty of parking on either side of the bridge. Be sure to bring a camera to capture the great views and a jacket as it is always pretty brisk to very windy.

You can also ride a bike both ways.

There is nothing quite like the views from the Golden Gate Bridge. No matter how you cross - by bike or on foot, it could be one of your top memories of your visit to San Francisco

This is a link to the Golden Gate Bridge Multimedia Gallery for a few different views of bridge deck and surrounds.
