About
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's most beautiful bridges and a marvel of modern engineering. With its tremendous orange towers, sweeping main cables, and amazing span, it is a sensory experience of color, sound, and light. Driving across the bridge is a thrill, racing under the towers, but the half-hour walk across lets you feel the bridge's grandeur and absorb panoramic views of Downtown and the San Francisco Bay. Take a guided bus tour across the Golden Gate Bridge, learn about the bridge's history and see incredible sights, from Sausalito to Golden Gate Park. The Bridge Pavilion offers information, exhibits, gifts and souvenirs.
