Golden Gate Bridge Details
San Franciscos most recognizable landmark sits on the strait of the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Stretching for 1-mile between the San Francisco Peninsula and Marin County, this iconic red bridge has been a symbol of California ever since it was built in 1937. At the time, it was known for being the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world, although nowadays, it's mostly admired for its beauty. The bridge itself features a six-lane highway, as well as two pedestrian and bike-friendly walkways. Although it is used by commuters traveling from one city to another, it is also a popular tourist attraction due to the sweeping water and city views.
