Golden Gate Bridge

The golden gate bridge is an impressive structure to behold, and positively exquisite to watch as it emerges from the fog. Infrequent visitors, never fear, this happens most mornings, especially in the summer months. My favorite vantage point is from the Marin Headlands. I take everyone who visits me in San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge and up to this spot.

There's some truly phenomenal photographs taken by Telstar Logistics from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge here.

A taste:

Not amazing but it is impressive, and alot went into it! Worthy of having a picture of.

A cool structure with a distinctive color, and the site of all kinds of activities. The visibility of this bridge from your apartment/room is an important determinant of its value (Can YOU see the Golden Gate Bridge from your balcony? Only a sliver? Well, that's what you get for only paying $2000/month.)

This is a good place to commit suicide, ride your bike, go on a run, and admire the San Francisco skyline. In that order.

Golden gate bridge is the first tourist spot i saw in SFO. May be to create first impression is best impression! Well this bridge is awesome. to view this bridge from top of the near by hill is breathtaking. you keep gazing on it Im sure you will not know the time running. A ride on this bridge is a wonderful experience. a must see place.

I walked over the Golden Gate twice and besides being scared of the height and the face an earthquake could happen at any moment it was very nice. You get some great views of San Fran and Alcatraz. If you drive around to the bottom of the bridge you get some really neat perspective shots. Also, make sure you notice the suicide helpline call box.

It'd be fun to walk over if you deal well with heights

I love driving over the bridge and looking back at the skyline of San Francisco. But if you watch the movie "The Bridge" you will have a different view on the Golden Gate Bridge. Trust me. It's an iconic structure and most people can identify it in seconds. Somebody did SOMETHING right when they deisgned and built it! I've walked across it once and the wind was a little scary so now I prefer to stay inside the vehicle! I would like to try biking over it again someday just to get over that fear!

Fun to ride a bike across and down into Sausalito.

take a bike ride!

i rode my bike across that!

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.

I'm looking at it right now.

Ahhh.. the Golden Gate. What can I say that hasn't already been said?

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.

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.

this is the F&*(!# queerest thing i've ever seen!

.

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.

Exactly , the first thing that pops into anybody's mind when u mention san farncisco ... !!

A Masterpiece. What more can I say?

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

Fun to drive, views are great from the bridge. Bridge looks awesome from below!

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.

this is only the coolest bridge in the world!!!

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.

Awesome sight to see, especially with the fog and clouds rolling in. A world renowned sight in our local community.

It's a beautiful bridge. It's world famous. It has great lights at night. The toll has to go. The traffic is bad.

You can't go to SF without seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate set a record for the tallest bridge in the world.

This is the most popular site in all of San Francisco. You can't leave San Francisco without visiting the Golden Gate. It's the most famous bridge.

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.

I believe the Golden Gate Bridge got a record for the tallest bridge. It also is placed in a nice setting.

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.

A must-see if you are in San Francisco. The views are breathtaking and the actual bridge is an amazing structure.

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.

Pretty bland except for the magnificient ocean view.

Excellent place. Very lovely. A must see!

Great place for a few photos, but unless you brought a bike, there is not much to do.

The Golden Gate Bridge is breathtaking. Views of the ocean, pacific hieghts, and the city are amazing. From early morning to late afternoon and evening, you get a new perspective and view. It's a great photo location.
