When someone mentions the city of San Francisco, what\u2019s the first thing that pops into your head? For me it\u2019s the Golden Gate Bridge, and I\u2019m sure that I\u2019m not the only one. After all, it\u2019s featured on almost every souvenir available in the city and has become somewhat of an icon around the world. Which is why walking and biking across it was at the top of my bucket list of things to do in San Francisco<\/a>. Since, I only live 45 minutes north, I’m not sure why it took so long to check it off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it can be tempting to just drive across to a viewpoint, it’s much better to take a bike ride or walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. The journey is actually much shorter than it looks, coming in just under 2 miles, and makes for a memorable experience full of picturesque views and a stroll through one of San Francisco\u2019s most historic moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips to Bike or Walk Across San Francisco\u2019s Golden Gate Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Golden Gate Bridge Facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco and Marin County. Completed in 1937, the landmark was nothing short of a miracle. Due to treacherous conditions and just sheer disbelief, many dubbed it \u201cthe bridge that couldn\u2019t be built\u201d. But 10 years of planning, 4 years of building, over 80,000 miles of wire and $35 million later the iconic spectacle was finally finished and deemed the longest suspension bridge in the world. While it no longer holds this title, the Golden Gate Bridge is still one of the most recognizable in the world with its iconic \u201cinternational orange\u201d color and 746 foot towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long is the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A common questions for visitors is “how long is the Golden Gate Bridge?”. Its length is 1.7 miles<\/strong> (8,981 ft or 2,737 m) and the walking path is about a 225 foot drop to the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does it Take to Walk Across the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Round trip will be approximately 1 1\/2 to 2 hours<\/strong>, depending on how many times you stop to look at the stunning views along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does it Take to Bike Across the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Biking across the bridge will be a lot quicker than walking, taking approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour<\/strong> depending on the traffic on the path.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Where to Park Your Car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are parking on the North our South end of the bridge, there are multiple parking lots available for use. However, it can be very limited during the peak traveling seasons, in which case I recommend either getting there really early or taking other means of transportation such as Golden Gate Transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southeast Side Parking Lot<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visitor center has a small 37 space metered parking lot with a rate of $.25 per 15 minutes. Needless to say, this one fills up quickly due to its close access to the bridge as well as the visitor center\u2019s caf\u00e9, gift shop, and gardens. On the weekends, a satellite parking lot is opened on the southwest side for a flat rate of $5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To access this lot if you are traveling south from Marin, take the first exit right past the toll booth and go under the underpass and this will take you to the lot. If you are traveling north from San Francisco take the exit right before the bridge that says “Golden Gate National Recreation Area View Area”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re willing to make a bit of a trek, there are multiple other lots in the vicinity that offer free parking with no time limit. The closest of these is the Battery East Vista<\/strong>, located just below the visitor center. Two other options are to park at either Chrissy Field<\/strong> or Fort Point<\/strong> and take a quick 15-minute walk uphill to the visitor center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northeast Side Parking Lot<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking options are much more limited on the Northern side of the bridge. There is one parking lot located off of the Vista Point Exit that offers great views of the bridge and city. The parking limit is 4 hours, which gives you plenty of time to walk the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips on How to Walk Across the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, you\u2019ll have to leave your roller blades, skateboards, and scooters at home (in addition to animals, wheelbarrows, and pushcarts). So, if you don\u2019t want to bike, then walking across the Golden Gate Bridge is your best option! Roundtrip it takes the average person about an hour, so it\u2019s the perfect way to burn some post-lunch calories. Pedestrians have access to the East sidewalk of the bridge, which can be accessed from both the North and South ends during the following hours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00AM-6:30PM from the first Sunday<\/u> of November to the second Sunday<\/u> of March<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5:00AM-9:00PM from the second Sunday<\/u> in March to the first Sunday<\/u> of November<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the bridge is a beautiful way to see the city year-round, at times it can be cloaked in a fog that makes it difficult to take in its panoramic views. That being said, I have found that the best time of the year to take a stroll Is between the months of September and October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bike<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tips on How to Bike Across the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Biking across the Golden Gate takes a smidge more planning than taking it on by foot. There are no bike rental locations at the visitor center, so if you want to feel that sea breeze in your hair you\u2019ll have to stop at a nearby rental location such as Sports Basement<\/a>, Golden Gate Bridge Bike Rentals<\/a>, or Parkwide Bike Rentals & Tours<\/a>. Electric bikes are allowed if you peddle them across the bridge without turning on the battery. You also take a tour (like this one: Golden Gate Bridge: 3-Hour Ferry and Cycle Tour<\/a>) that will take you across the bridge and stop at other landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyclists have access to both the East and West sidewalk with the contingency that they yield to pedestrians. This can be trickier when passing by the towers, so for those portions I would suggest slowing down, or possibly walking your bike if there is heavy foot traffic. The hours for cyclists are different than those for pedestrians:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the first Sunday<\/u> of November to the second Sunday<\/u> of March<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekdays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Cyclists must press the buzzer located next to the security gate to be granted access <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If simply biking across seems like too short of a trip for you, another option is to start your journey at Fisherman\u2019s Wharf. After walking around the shops and stopping at Boudin for a clam chowder bowl, you can bike along the bay for 23 minutes before you hit the bridge. Roundtrip it totals out to be around 12 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traveling Soon? Use my Favorite Resources for Booking Your Trip!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Book Your Flight<\/strong>
Expedia<\/a> is my favorite flight search engine, because it checks dozens of airlines so you can easily find the best fare deals. You can also select ‘Watch Prices’ to get an email alert when the prices change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Your Accommodations<\/strong>
I use both Booking.com<\/a> and Expedia<\/a> for hotels, because each offers a couple different hotel choices and I like to compare the reviews on each one. If you have a group or are looking for more of a home atmosphere, head over to VRBO<\/a> or AirBNB<\/a> that has houses, apartments and even just a room for rent in every price range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Your Rental Car<\/strong>
If love the freedom to explore like I do, driving from place to place is the best option! I always book with RentalCars.com<\/a> (it’s part of booking.com)<\/em> for the best prices and top brand options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Some Fun Tours!<\/strong>
Viator<\/a> and Get Your Guide<\/a> are my go-to search engines for cool bucket list experiences! Each one can have different tours, so check both\u2014why limit yourself, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Forget Travel Insurance<\/strong>
Travel can be unpredictable. Whether it\u2019s a last-minute cancellation, an injury, or (ugh) theft, things happen. That\u2019s why I recommend never leaving the country without travel insurance. Here are my faves: Safety Wing<\/a> and World Nomads<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Packing & Travel Essentials Ready<\/strong>
Check out the Bucket List Journey Amazon Store<\/a> to find all my favorite<\/em> travel essentials. Everything from Packing cubes, to travel adapters and toiletry containers to walking shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Lastly, check travel.state.gov<\/a> for visa requirements and safety information. <\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
