I cannot recommend biking the bridge enough! We rented a tandem bike through Blazing Saddles and had an amazing time! The staff at Blazing Saddles is PHENOMENAL - they explain everything to you from the bike route to how to ride a tandem bike to where you should stop and take pictures. After your ride, the staff is at the... more

There are lots of pics out there of the Golden Gate Bridge, but it is truly something better to be experienced live. On the SF side of the bridge are a lovely garden, gift shop, and cafe. It's actually a pretty long way across the bridge, maybe about a mile, but if you travel the whole way from SF north... more

Me and my boyfriend rented bikes for the day, which came to less than $70 fr the both of us! It was a long old cycle to actually get to the bridge, but I haven't cycled in YEARS and it was so much fun. We just felt so free cycling over the bridge and the views were absolutely amazing! Beware... more

Biked across the bridge - absolutely brilliant views and very cool to be on the Golden Gate Bridge. Not surprisingly it is a bit windy so dress warmly - you can stop and take photos relatively easily. It doesn't take long to bike across the bridge itself about 10-15 minutes. It is getting to the Bridge that takes the time... more

the most amazing man made structure i've seen - incredible. the best sight in San Francisco for sure. the bus (you'll probably need at least 2) goes directly to the south side of the bridge. There is a visitor's centre with some great photo opportunities. Took us about 45 minutes to walk all the way across with lots of stops... more

The Golden Gate Bridge is absolutely beautiful. It's worth the trip and definitely worth walking out onto to get a good view of the city and the bay. For those who are complaining about it not being golden but orange/red, it never claimed to be golden because "Golden" isn't referring to the the color of the bridge. "Golden Gate" is... more

Well, you pretty much can't come to San Francisco and not see the Golden Gate Bridge. But that's a good thing, because it totally is worth it! The bridge is an incredible structure, and witnessing it firsthand is really the only way to experience it. We drove across, so can't comment on biking or walking endeavors. There is a $5... more

Spent 4 days in SF, and the highlight of the trip was hiring bikes and cycling over the bridge to Sausalito. We hired bikes from Bike & Roll (they have a couple of shops down near Fisherman's Wharf), and they were really helpful, giving us directions and advice. It took about an hour to get to the bridge as we... more

Unfortunately for us we were there on a hazy day and the previous day was fog.... how unlucky,,, because our pictures just didnt do it justice.... thank goodness for postcards :-) We ran... more

It's big, bold and beautiful and we were lucky enough to see it on a clear crisp sunny December day. We walked across the bridge and back and the views were spectacular. Definitely worth the visit. Hint: If you are in SF without a car and are mobile enough, definitely suggest walking to the bridge from Fisherman's Wharf. It's a... more
