Review:
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world and the main icon of San Francisco. This suspension bridge, which spans the Golden Gate, connects San Francisco and Marin County. It is 1 mile wide and as tall as a 65-story building. Everything about it makes it one of the Wonders of the Modern World, from its massive 746-foot tall towers and vast main cables to its signature orange color and art deco style. The bridge was opened in 1937 and at the time it was the tallest and the longest suspension bridge in the world. Millions of visitors cross the bridge every year, and taking a photo of the bridge is one of the highlights of any visit to San Francisco.
