Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. As part of both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County. The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed during the year 1937, and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. It still has the second longest suspension bridge main span in the United States, after the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City. In 1999, it was ranked fifth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects.

  • This is a beautiful bridge!
  • One of the few man-made structures that actually improves upon nature. The Golden Gate looks so much better WITH the bridge than it did without it. A truly amazing thing!
  • i hope i can go to this place, this is beautiful!.
  • so worth to walk across. just hang on to your hat
  • I went this Christmas. It is very big and beatiful bridge.
  • the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE is the most ICONIC BRIDGE in the WORLD.....
  • I love this is bridge. THE GOLDEN GATE
  • If you have extremely good connections one bridge worker can take two people to the top of the South Tower in the tiny elevator there.
  • The bridge is closed at night to pedestrians. Bicycle riders can go to the closed gates at each end of the East side walk and ring a buzzer. Security will check them out by camera and open that gate to let them pedal across. As bicycles are legally vehicles in California and have a Right To The Road it has to be this way. I'll push the spouse to help me do this on my next birthday.
