ItemImageThe Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge that connects the city of San Francisco with the Marin Headlands in Marin County. Construction on the Golden Gate Bridge began in 1933, with the first traffic allowed on it in 1937. The bridge is about 1.7 miles long, and was the idea of engineer Joseph Strauss. The bridge features a popular look-out area on the Marin side that provides for views of San Francisco.

One of the most easily recognized city landmarks in the world, its an impressive engineering achievement, a thing of beauty, and one of my favorite drives in the world.

Some years ago I decided to walk over it, which, given that I got caught in a foggy drizzle half way across, dimmed my enthusiasm a little.

One of the most photographed man-made objects in the world, the bridge is a beautiful and recognizable spot that is visible from a lot of parts of San Francisco.

I've taken a few nice photos of the Golden Gate:

It's more impressive when you learn what an engineering feat it was.

So while in SF I drove across it, rode under it, walked on it, etc. etc. etc. But my most memorable moment at this place was with a pigeon. We were part of this trolley tour that, surprise! went to the golden gate. While on the trolley waiting to leave, there were these pigeons in the parking lot not noticing/caring that cars were coming towards them. Most cars waited for those fat suckers to move. But some people just weren't paying attention. And we saw it coming. Watching the oblivious pigeon and the oblivious driver and knowing that death was coming, my natural reaction was to scream. OK. Makes sense. But didn't help. So there's screaming me, my laughing friend, these staring Italian tourists (who, by the way, started screaming and bolted away from the tour, not allowed to return, once they spotted Niketown...with the last one turning back saying Viva Italia before he left...I think they had just won the World Cup), a dead bird, a car rolling onward, oh, and this sunny bridge in the background.

By far the coolest bridge I have ever seen. When I look at it from the hills on Cow Hollow walking down to the marina, especially at night, it seems like it doesn't really exist and I'm looking at a surreal image. It's such a beautiful sight it's almost eery, and if the fog's there it further adds to the mystique.

Umm, It's a bridge from point A to point B. Maybe worth a couple of pictures, but not a top attraction.

Truly a marvel of architecture. Having lived in SF for a year, the bridge looks different depending on the weather, i.e., fog, clouds, wind, sun, rain, etc. Mostly spectacular. 4 bucks to get across it by car is a bit much, though. Or it may be 5.00 now. Have not been back in a few years.

Architecturally stunning and the city's best known attraction, the Golden Gate is breathtaking in any weather and from any angle! Take a walk or a drive over it, embark on a Red&White Fleet boat cruise beneath it, gaze down on it from the surrounding hills, or up at it from the beach.... The Golden Gate is THE symbol of San Francisco's positive energy! I even have it as my desktop wallpaper on my computer to remind me of how much I love San Francisco! If you ever get the chance, go see it!!

Incredibly beautiful, especially on a foggy day. I saw it on two visits to San Francisco but will never forget the time I saw it in fog. I hope to see it again someday.

A must see when visiting San Francisco. It is great to walk halfway across the bridge, stop and adsorb the views of San Francisco, Alcatraz, Bay Bridge, and the Pacific Ocean.

The Golden Gate looks best during the 'golden' sunset! It's breathtaking to look at from the hills, or to walk out upon. The Golden Gate stands for San Francisco, and after reading all the comments about it, I am really wishing I still lived in SF. I miss sights like the beautiful bridge!

To actually experience this site, you must stand under it and watch the ocean water smash up against the rocks. Watch the massive ships roll underneath it. It is truly amazing the size of the structure.

Having never been to San Francisco before, the bridge was the first thing I looked for. It was beautiful, especially from the ferry to Alcatraz. I definitely took a bunch of pictures.

A grand architectural achievment, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. The simple grandeur of its towers spiking into the sky can be breathtaking. If you get the chance, walk out on it and feel it pulse as the traffic rumbles over it.

The bridge is never tiresome to look at. For whatever wonderful reason the bridge is still awe worthy. One of the best times to see it is late at night with the bay glowing from the reflections of the city.

This bridge is absolutely breathtaking! I must admit that it can be a little creepy since there are no guard rails between you and the road, and the railing to the bay is not THAT tall, but it is still astouding! A must see for everyone!

The view from Golden Gate Bridge really captures San Francisco. On a clear day the photo opportunity must be taken advantage of. It's one thing to see the bridge in movies or even drive upon it, but entirely different to stand upon it, gaze at its magnificence and stroll along the constant rush of cars.

This bridge is what attracts tourists to visit San Francisco more than any other attraction. It's orange color and unique design make the Golden Gate easy to distinguish among other worldwide attractions.

When i went to the Golden Gate Brige in Sanfransico it was fantastic. The water was glistering all around it, you can see tourists taking pictures of it, people were riding there bikes along the way, also walking or running. Whoever rated anything besides great something is wrong with you no offense.

Since growing up in the bay area, I have definitely taken for granted just how amazing the Golden gate bridge is. I have crossed this bridge a million times, and I still think it is one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. There is a great view of San Francisco, Alcatraz, the California coast, usually tons of sail boats and then you have Sausalito on the other side which has a really beautiful marina.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a magnificent piece of engineering. You can walk across the bridge and you will have beautiful views of downtown SF. There is also an abandoned old naval base under the bridge which is an interesting place to visit. You can get a nice view from the hills on the North (Marin) side of the bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a beautiful place to visit. But why does it cost $3.00 to cross? And plus, they need to do something about the traffic and the barrier.
