| The Golden Gate Bridge was built in 1937 and spans the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. The bridge is one of the most recognized landmarks of the city by the bay. Visitors can walk, bike or drive across the second longest suspension bridge in the United States. There is a toll for cars and trucks but cycling, and pedestrian traffic are free. You can walk out onto the bridge from either side, but be prepared for windy and cold conditions. |
