Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Point: San Francisco’s symbol is the Golden Gate Bridge with its graceful orange arches. The visitors’ viewing area on the San Francisco side offers stunning views (if the fog is not in) and access to the pedestrian walkway across the bridge (2½ miles round trip, wear warm clothing). At the base of the Golden Gate Bridge’s south pier, Fort Point, built in 1861 as one of the west coast’s principal points of defense, provides a fascinating insight into military life during that period.
