    Ride a bike across the bridge, there are protected one-way bike lanes on the bridge. It can be very windy to ride across so dress warmly. If you continue a short way, you will end up in Sausalito a great place for a fun (but pricey) lunch.

    Cyclists have toll-free access to the Bridge's sidewalks 24-hours a day. Cyclists MUST yield to pedestrians and remember to use caution in the areas of the towers as there is limited space to maneuver and sight distances are constrained. Electric bicycles may be ridden on the sidewalks; however they may not be used under power while on the sidewalk and must be pedaled.

    The Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco and Marin Head County to the north. There is a $ 5 toll cash when driving south. Cross the bridge so that you can go to Napa, Petaluma Premium Outlets, Village at Corte Madera, Calistoga and Scenic Mendocino and Mount Shasta up north.

    Location: Lincoln Blvd & Highway 101, San Francisco, CA 94129

    Civil War Fort that is located at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. Used as the base of operations during the construction of the bridge between 1933 & 1937. Offers excellent views of the bridge as well as a coffee house.

  • Everyone wants a picture of the Golden Gate bridge. Heres an insider tip: drive right past the rest area where most folks pull off to take a picture, get off at the next exit and follow the signs to the Marin Headlands, it may seem like you're going the wrong way, but when you get to the curves on the mountain you'll find a world class view of the bridge and city. Bonus points if you catch the sunset. While you're here check out the wildflowers and historical fortifications.

    I do recommend Fort Point (see picture in this page), a place tourists often fail to visit. It is tucked underneath the Golden Gate Bridge (the view of the bridge from the top of the fort is AWESOME!). Also (tip for cinephiles), Fort Point is the place where the famous scene of Kim Novak's attempted suicide in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece 'Vertigo' was shot.

  • My friend and I did not book this trip, we organised it by our selves and made our own way there saving us a lot of cash! And we had a better time doing this and saw many other sites on the way.

    San Francisco Muni's #28 and 29 buses go to the south side.

    In the car park area you will find restrooms, cafe and a gift shop.

    Take a lot of camera film for this as I took 40 pics on the bridge alone! And wear comfortable shoes as its a long walk.
