What People Are Saying About Golden Gate Bridge

In Short – This soaring, stunning bridge is easy to access by car, tour bus, bike or by foot. There's no bad time to cross the bridge--unless you're a commuter in rush-hour traffic. The views--dot-sized boats far below you, the dramatic cityscape to the south and towering hills to the north--are spectacular by day or night. And if it feels like the bridge is moving, it is: Golden Gate was built to sway 27 feet from side to side as protection against powerful winds.

riding across the Golden Gate Bridge is the BEST!!!
by rockngal
riding across the Golden Gate Bridge is the BEST!!! Going north across the bridge is slightly hard yet 100% worth it when going back (south) with the wind doing the work!
- Pros: the views
- Cons: the $5 toll when driving

The most photographed bridge in the world!
by olphart
And for good reason. The views are fabulous (especially at sundown) of the SF skyline.
The pullouts at both ends of the bridge and the area by Fort Point are worth the stop for the shutterbug in you. The bridge is free going north (towards Sausalito) and $5.00 coming south. If you have three or more people in the car the bridge troll will let you pass for free.

Unforgettable!!!
by smarnold
A must do for everyone who visits San Francisco. On 4/7/2002, we chose to venture across the Golden Gate Bridge after lunch at Horizons in Sausalito. It was much longer than the 3/4 mile walk we were told it would take to reach the bridge but this adventure was well worth it. The view of San Francisco was truly breathtaking! It is a walk and view Tim and I will never forget!
- Pros: Free To Walk, Amazing View

Parking:
On the north side, the Vista Point parking lot is free and open 7am to 7pm daily, but there's a four-hour limit. The southeast parking lot is metered, so bring some quarters.
Know Before You Go:
A jacket is essential if you're taking the breezy walk across the bridge.
