Golden Gate Bridge
One of the most breathtaking structures in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge offers magical views of the San Francisco Bay Area, connecting San Francisco and Marin Headlands. The iconic, orange towers of the Golden Gate Bridge, the best-loved symbol of San Francisco, are visible from almost every high point in the city. The bridge, which spans 4,200 ft, had taken only 52 months to design and build when it opened in 1937. Driving or biking across is a thrill, but the half-hour walk across allows you to absorb its enormous size and wonderful views.
