Crossing the strait of the Golden Gate from San Francisco's Presidio to the Marin headlands is the world-renowned Golden Gate Bridge, easily identified by its globally-knownOrange color. San Francisco's most famous landmark opened in 1937 and has hence been considered an icon of not only the city but all of USA.
Visitors and locals can enjoy dramatic views of the bridge from several points throughout the city. Viewing spots noted below are all free and open to the public. During the day, the bridge stands as a towering embodiment of architecture, history, and engineering under the vibrant sun. The bridge casts a visual spell with the changing hues of the day going into the night. The experience and visual transformation of the bridge also challenge your perspectives to new opportunities. Here are some of the best nearby spots to view the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge.
Crissy Field
Crissy Field, a former military airfield located south of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Presidio, was restored in 2001 and offers wide, fully-accessible walking and cycling trails between the Marina Green and Fort Point. Offering stunning views of the bridge, Crissy Field offers picnic areas and a small beachfront popular among families. Along Crissy Field, visitors can stop for lunch at the Warming Hut near Fort Point.
Fort Point

Here, there are several benches and photo opportunities to reflect on and capture the beauty of the bridge.
Glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge
For slightly obstructed, but dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, visitors can enjoy views from several, unexpected vantage points. So always be on the lookout.
The Presidio
The oldest foot trail in the Presidio, Lover's Lane, a half-mile, pedestrian-friendly, paved trail, begins at the Presidio Gate at the corner of Presidio and Pacific Avenues in Presidio Heights. As you stroll down the trail, protected by majestic eucalyptus groves, you'll get a Hollywood-esque glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge, which will eventually disappear as you continue down the trail toward the Presidio's Main Post.

Golden Gate Bridge through the Waldo Tunnel
As San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge are hidden from the northern approach of U.S. Route 101 by the Marin Headlands, drivers going through the Waldo Tunnel, the unofficial name of the tunnel on U.S. Route 101 between the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito, can enjoy the first view of the city and the bridge upon exiting the tunnel's southbound bore. This view may be one of the most dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
