The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most beautiful, and most photographed, bridges in the world. It’s not called “Golden” because of its color, it was actually painted red and has gone orange over time. It’s named after the one-mile-wide straight between the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
When visiting San Francisco, set aside some time to walk or bike across the bridge, take in the panoramic views of the ocean, the Bay, and the city. Be prepared for sensory overload of color, sound of the wind through the suspension cables, and sunshine.
Internationally recognized as a symbol of San Francisco, California it is a structure in the art deco style. It was acknowledged to be one of the Wonders of the Modern Word. When it opened in 1937 it was both the longest, and tallest, suspension bridge in the world, 4,200 ft long, and 746 ft high
