Golden Gate Bridge, California

From the legendarily scenic route of the Pacific Coast Highway, it’s an easy drive to the iconic landmark permanently associated with the City by the Bay. The Golden Gate Bridge stretches 1.7 miles across the Golden Gate Strait, connecting San Francisco.

Whether it’s covered in fog or standing tall on a crystal-clear day, this 1930s-era art deco marvel is one of the country’s can’t-miss sights, and the best perspective is from the Marin Headlands, with the city’s skyline as a backdrop.

Choose a viewing point on land or take a cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge and by Alcatraz along with the other islands to view one of California’s most iconic settings from the beauty of San Francisco Bay. With towers soaring 227 meters into the sky and its span marching across San Francisco Bay, a Golden Gate Bridge sunset is, quite simply, amazing.
