THE BRIDGE
The Golden Gate Bridge defined and became the symbol of San Francisco. Yes, the bridge is not made of gold. However, the international orange color of the bridge was selected because it provides visibility in the fog for passing vehicles such as the ship. It is labeled the busiest bridge in the US with a total of ten lanes. Walk or bike across the bridge to experience the stunning ocean scene where the Bay meets the Pacific Ocean. The impressive skyline can be seen from the sidewalk that stretches the length. Renting a group boat or ferry is another way to see the bridge.
These are just some of the attractive and wonderful San Francisco destinations that tourists can consider when traveling to the city.
