More information

The Golden Gate Bridge is a cultural and architectural icon and one of the most important landmarks in San Francisco, and the United States as a whole! 

History

Opened in 1937, this bridge was a key milestone in the history of civil engineering. It took just over four years to build and provided a vital link between San Francisco and Marin County.

The bridge's name comes from its striking reddish color, which is actually known as International Orange. This color was chosen to match the landscape's natural warm tones, while also providing contrast from the cool shades of the sea and sky.

How long is the Golden Gate Bridge?

In length, the bridge measures 2.7 kilometers (1.7 miles). At 227 meters (745 ft) in height, it's one of the tallest bridges in the world!

Where is the Golden Gate Bridge?

The Golden Gate Bridge is located in the north of San Francisco. It can be easily reached from the city center by car, bike, tour bus, or even on foot from Fisherman's Wharf. Alternatively, a great way to see the bridge is on board a cruise.
