San Francisco’s Tourist “Must-See’s”
If your planning on travelling to San Francisco, there are a few attractions your going to want to see.
The Golden Gate Bridge is probably one of the most famous landmarks we think of, when thinking about San Francisco.
Of course we’ve all seen the beautiful pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge, but you haven’t seen it until you’ve crossed over the bridge.
At first site it is an amazing view coming from the North on Highway 101. As you wind through the hills and approach San Francisco, it appears out of nowhere and is gigantic in scope.
The bridge in it’s all it’s reddish glory spans at least a mile, I would say.
For those like my wife who hate crossing bridges, they will be pleased with the 5 or 6 lane bridge and should feel very comfortable as they drive or walk across the bay.
Going into San Francisco you will pay a $5 toll, and if you drive out of town going north you’ll have smooth sailing, as the toll is only charged coming into San Francisco.
With views of Alcatraz and the city of San Francisco, from the Golden Gate it might be well worth the time to stop and walk the bridge or even bike it. We saw hundreds crossing the bridge on foot and pedal when we crossed over.
One thing I noticed while travelling in California, was there were alot of people who rode bikes, and it didn’t appear they just rode their bikes around the block, they were using them to travel afar.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a traveller’s “must-see” when going to San Francisco.
