Our tips for Golden Gate Bridge

  • Walk this way. No visit to San Francisco is complete without a walk along the Golden Gate Bridge. The walk across the bridge and back again is about three miles in total and is arguably one of the best ways to take in the Bay and beyond.
  • Wrap up. From summer to winter and everything in between, layers are your best friend. Famous for its foggy mornings, the city’s temperamental weather darts between rain and shine and back again, so be sure to bring a cardigan or two on your travels to the Golden Gate bridge.
  • Take a tour. Fancy learning more about the famous red arch? A visit to the iconic attraction is a great way to discover San Francisco.

Good to know

Best time to visit
San Francisco boasts year-round appeal, with the city’s population of innovative locals ensuring there is always new things to do in this urban playground. Winter or summer, plan your Golden Gate bridge tour for the early morning to witness the ethereal sight of fog and mist descending and engulfing the bridge.
Getting there
Limited parking and ongoing construction works on both the north and south sides of the bridge make catching public transport rather than driving the best option for getting to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Money saving tips
As well as the standard Golden Gate bridge tour, a number of isango! package deals include visits to many of San Francisco’s other major attractions too, from Alcatraz to Chinatown and everything in between. If you’re looking for cheaper Golden Gate bridge tours, be sure to book your tickets in advance.

Impress your fellow travellers with these interesting titbits!
  • In a bid to reduce the number of worker deaths during the construction of the bridge, a safety net was suspended under the floor of the bridge from one end to another. The net saved the lives of 19 men who became known as the "Halfway-to-Hell Club."
  • Proposed colours for the bridge included carbon grey, aluminium or black, while the U.S. Navy wanted black with yellow stripes (for greater visibility). Consulting architect Irving Morrow eventually opted for the strong red hue he called, International Orange as it was unusual, exciting and ensured the bridge would be visible through the fog.
