No visit to Chicago is complete if you don’t go for a walk on one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, the 1.7 miles long Golden Gate Bridge. Almost nine million tourists visit the Golden Gate Bridge every year to live an unforgettable experience. Great towers, large cables, the Strauss Statue, the Lone Sailor monument and breathtaking views you will always remember. If you wish to, you can also bring your bicycle along.

You may go for a walk on the east sidewalk of the bridge from 5 am to 9 pm April through October and from 6 am to 6 pm November through May. Do not leave the Golden Gate Bridge without having visited the bridge’s Roundhouse Gift Center, behind the Strauss Statue. If you can’t take the bridge back home with you, you can at least pack some videos, photos, books, posters and other souvenirs.

If you ever get hungry on the Golden Gate Bridge, don’t worry, you’ll find pizzas, hot dogs, muffins, ice cream, sodas, coffee and much more on the southeast side of the bridge. The Bridge Café is open daily from 9:30 am to 5 pm in winter and from 9 am to 7 pm in summer.

If we’ve convinced you, then you may go for a walk on the bridge right now. But attention! Roller skates, skateboards and roller blades are forbidden on the Golden Gate Bridge.
