Another great angle of the bridge and city. Parking is free although a little tricky to get to. Take your time and it will be worth it. Great place for pics for that once in a lifetime trip or an annual family pic. Still have to be careful during Covid, but when we went there was enough space that mask shouldn’t be an issue so you can get great pics without worry.

This was the best spot to view SF bay, Golden Gate Bridge and amazing sunset. Be mindful of infamous SF bay fog so one may not able to see sunset or bridge on foggy day. One can also see rolling fog descending from pacific to bay which was unique experience. Golden Gate Vista Point is the best spot along drive for best bridge and sunset view. There are other view spots along oneway drive on Conzelman Rd. There is also oneway tunnel on a way which has more than 5 min red stop light at a time so don’t be impatient.

Really good place to park your car and enjoy the view. A lot of tourist come to click the pictures with this amazing background. Even on the weekend it was not crowded once we reached there - the route might be bit crowded but once you cross that part- it’s really smooth ride.

35th anniversary with my bride and a view of the golden gate bridge, Jehovah is so magnificent and majestic, awesome wisdom and great power.

There is a great view of the Golden gate Bridge and the view of Oakland from across the bay.

Beautiful views of the bay and the bridge.. can get a little breezy

Its always beautiful and peaceful up here after midnight. Its an iiconic view.

Great view. I recommend you check the local weather before heading there for optimal pictures.

I have seen it many times in hollywood movies and now im here to check it out

The views here are Amazing! Samuel and Christina, the park rangers on duty, were great. They both had fantastic tips for where to get the perfect pictures. Christina missed her calling as a photographer. Thank you for everything. Both Samuel and Christina deserve a raise!

Iconic of SF, beautiful in every angles. You can see it from the pier or from the mountains still wonderful. Please come and see it in many different time of a day, you will see all its beauty. For whom love to walk across the bridge, please park at Vista point and enjoy your steps on this iconic steel structure.

When you have decided that you just want to relax and enjoy a view.

Very nice place to visit. One can see good overview of the bridge. This place is very windy & cold. While visiting ensure warm clothing & scarf. Enjoy the visit with family & friends

Always a great view. Hate how they changed the way to get up there and the top was closed due to covid. But highly recommended

Enjoyed a Beautiful day in San Francisco. I was able to get some gorgeous pictures of the infamous Golden Gate Bridge.

Not perfect but still great.

Encountered a small coyote while there ! Good place to view the bridge if it isn’t foggy

Went early in the morning, as suggested. Definitely cooler than I thought it was going to be. Bring a light to medium jacket, breeze just cuts through you. Beautiful vistas and an inspiring piece of human ingenuity.

Best views of the bridge and city that I know. However, come dressed warmed no matter what your weather app tells you about the weather that day! There is a constant, chilling wind that blows strongly from the ocean which will freeze your fingers in minutes; bring gloves.

Really impressive when the fog moves on and out in a short time and you realize how massive the bridge really is

Even though it was cloudy. It was still so beautiful. If you are in San Francisco take the drive up here to look at the bridge! You won’t regret it

The Golden Gate Bridge has been the subject of countless photos by every kind of photographer who has ever set foot in San Francisco. There are literally thousands of angles from which you can see it. You can imagine it was quite difficult to distill this list to only five! But taking everything into account, these are my favorite places to see the Golden Gate Bridge, both as a photographer and as a resident. What are your favorites? Leave a comment and let me know, and your place could be the next one for my photoshoot!

Its a clean environment with incredible views of the Golden gate. Its a must go place

My 5th time here and still love it...

Best view point, but make sure you turn at the right place, its like unexpected sharp turn just off the bridge

There is no specific name of this place, from where you can see the complete bridge from this location. I found this place while walking on the street. This place is really amazing. Unfortunately there is no parking space from where I have taken this pics, so you have to walk there to find out the exact place. Its good for hiking. I randomly clicked few shots and posted here.

Is the best place to admire the Golden Gate and take pictures. Sundays early in the morning is the best time to visit it

I love that place! And not so many people are there. So you even can park your car and take some walk.

Gives you a nice view over the bridge and the city. Overcrowded. Walk, ebike or dropout via Uber.

One of the best places to visit in the world. Planning to propose to your future wife? This is the place. Its beauty cannot be described in world. One must experience it! As Should be on must visit list!

Beautiful scenic views along this drive with multiple pull offs for viewpoints. It does get quite busy so parking spots fill up fast but most people dont spend a whole lot of time here so if you wait around a bit you can definitely grab a spot easily.

Amazing view! A must see

Very much worth the trip. I visited twice during my trip. I highly recommend trying to visit on a clear day, which may be easier said than done in San Fran. The clear, sunny weather makes for great photos and a great view of San Fran.When I visited on the foggy, gray day, viability was poor and it was 20-30 degrees colder than downtown!There is a bathroom on site. There is a steady flow of tour buses (I reviewed the Big Bus company separately) and car traffic. Finding a parking spot was difficult—basically everyone has to wait for someone to pull out. If you want to get that perfect photo (like all the people who stand on the wall and hold up the hands with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background), you will bed to be patient. Hundreds of people are trying to get the same shot.You’ll see in my photos how dramatic the San Fran bay fog can be!

Wonderful place to view the Golden Gate bridge in whole though really close.There quite a few people who want to do that so in busy hours they make a road one way to form a loop and use one lane for parking, smart decision.There is a wide trail path starting from there that goes down almost to the water, nice to follow if you have hour or two.And of course the battery Spencer is located at the same place which is great to see, it had been protecting the bay in the past.

Wonderfully beautiful. The folks disregarding the safety signs and wires fences for no entry deserve every thing coming to them.

Some of the best picture you will get

A great place to visit and explore. Very family friendly. Scenery is terrific! Peaceful at dusk.

Great views. It was busy on a weekend but with patience and no fear of a walk you can park and enjoy the view

Simply a must do to get the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge. There is a little bit of a drive to get there, with a 5 minute long red light to travel through the tunnel on the winding road up the Marin County. Generally, the view point is quite crowded, so finding a parking spot can be tricky.

This location has the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge! Beautiful location for pictures, a picnic, or just a walk.

Must stop spot if your visiting SF. Specially during night times. View of Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco is awesome. Great place to take photos. During foggy days view from this spot is amazing. Parking is difficult during holidays. Traffic might end up going all the way down the hill and can take an hour to two to visit this spot

One of the best places to get a good shot of the golden gate bridge with San Francisco on the background. Specially nice at sunrise and sunset. Parking spots are very limited though.

Enjoyed my trail walk and a nice view and lovely weather. worth walking.

The beautiful place I have been

Visiting the South West it is inevitable to go to San Francisco. Of course one is the best view of San Francisco is the Golden Gate. Not as well known this view pont as the Battery Spancer but it is really as spectacular a that.

Beautiful spot to view the GG Bridge. Little foggy on top. Cold & the wind will sweep you off your feet

A very beautiful place, I advise you to go there and even more beautiful at sunset.

Really Awesome view of the bridge and sunset. Recommend place for photo shoots and outdoor.. you have the space for parking the car on side of the road and only walkable distance to the view point. Not tickets or parking fees...

Best place to take a pic. Good traffic management

Best spot to get a good view of the whole Golden Gate bridge. Late afternoon is the best time for pictures since the sun would be on the west side of the bridge, the same side this viewing spot is on.Parking can be tricky due to large number of visitors. However, visitors usually stay only a short time here, so parking spots are freed up frequently.

Parking is a bit of a hassle. The drive and traffic are worth the views. So pretty

Awesome view.. need to see it for your self..

Amazing views, one of the most beautiful panoramic view, one thing to do and see in life

Wonderful views all times of day

Love this place...never guess you are a mile from the city

This is one of the most iconic viewpoints of Golden Gate bridge. If this is your 1st time visiting the city its definitely a must see location beautiful views of the bridge and city.

Perfect place to have short or even longer view on the bridge. Take beverages and snacks with you. Id recommend a Jeep with open roof to sit on.

Its a great spot to see the view of Golden gate and click some snaps.

This is a great spot to get pictures of the Golden gate bridge and the City. Parking is a drag, and gets very crowded on weekends. I would suggest going on a weekday. And Rain or Shine your going to create some beautiful memories.

One of the best angles for pictures!

Excellent view and very very windy so hold tight whatever on your hand.

Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, nothing else to say.

Amazing view and such a great place to just sit and contemplate life.

Gorgeous view spot, but VERY CROWDED when we visited. Somewhat difficult to FIND PARKING (very limited), with the congestion of many cars looking just like yourself!Still, you SHOULD TRY, if visiting the area on the NORTH END of the bridge. Its a truly Classic spot, and worthwhile.

Best place to enjoy whole golden gate bridge!

Fantastic view even with a bit of fog.

The view is beautiful. There are alot of places to pull over at and park at as well

Worth the trip across the bridge. On weekends one lane is shut down for parking so making it out is a little tricky but worth it. Alternatively, MUNI 76X bus will get you thrte. Do note it can be very cold and windy so pack accordingly.

Must visit place if you’re in the Bay !

Good view for sure, but too much People all the time without enough parking lots

Amazing. So many views you can walk to or even to drive up too.Check out the lighthouse and Fort Barry

ALWAYS a Good get away

Amazing view equally amazing feel!! Great place to take pictures. Very windy. Maybe a bit of parking problem else the perfect spot!!

Beautiful view at night!

Absolutely beautiful views of the bridge, San Fran and the whole Bay Area from up here!

Really nice view magnificent worthy to take 76X bus near union square to be here.拍照背光，值得來一趟：）

A very nice e place to visit. The lighthouse was closed for us. Its good to check the opening times. But the surrounding have much to show and there are many trails.

Gorgeous. I recommend a night visit. Bring a jacket. What if theyre pumpin AC out there, and then if youre cold I have to go out and I miss the previews cause I gotta get your jacket. Bring your jacket!!

More cooler.place to take photos of the golden gate

Does anyone ever get bored seeing this bridge!? Ive been here a million times and I still get excited like it was the first time I saw this bridge. Something about it always keeps growing on you. This view point gives youa unique angle and perspective of the bridge.

An amazing view of the bridge and San Francisco. Very popular so be prepared to drive loops to find a parking spot at the nearest and best viewpoints but there are viewpoints spreadout along the hillside.

An awesome place to go and check the Golden Gate Bridge. If you are lucky with some fog the view is even better. There is a parking lot and usually there is space, the road is narrow and tourist busses dont come up there. Totally worth it.

Awesome views from Golden Gate View Point. You get the entire view of Golden Gate Bridge from a height. You can also see the entire SFO downtown area, Alcatraz, and Saucalito Bay. A great 360° view, I must say.

Nature lovers will definitely enjoy the sunrise from this view point

Great for pictures, parking is always a problem especially during the holidays and the long weekend. Ideal when the weather is perfect aka without Karl the fog.

Bike ride from Berkeley was well worth it. Very well kept roads as well.

There are a few pull offs along the side of the road. Try to get in to the first one by scooting over to the right, so as to let other cars pass, and patiently wait for someone to leave, kind of like at the airport arrivals sections. Traffic will HAVE to keep moving so move over enough that the car behind can get around. Several viewpoints are good but the 1st and 2nd are great. Be aware there is only a thin wire fence separating you from a fairly steep mountain side, I say that because with my kids I now have a couple extra gray hairs...(you can like this review if you understand)

Amazing view. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful spot for sunrises and sunsets. Its just too crowded for sunsets though and it technically is the wrong side for a sunrise if youre a photographer. But if you want to enjoy the majesty of either one, stop by and let it take your breath away.

Excellent view point, preferred to take the best photos of the bridge

Arrived on early Feb weekend evening just as the sun was low over the horizon. Bring torch lights if planning to stay a little while more when it gets dark.

Great stopping point for a bicycle ride from San Francisco. One of the best views of the city on the bay.

Excellent view of the golden gate bridge... the hike was worth for the view of the SF bay area!

The view of the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge was breathtaking! If you want to hike or just relax with nature this is the place to be! I love it

Definitely worth the drive!

Beautiful view even with the fog

Meh

Bring a lunch on a sunny day with a friend and enjoy the view. Even with the diversion in place its worth the stop before crossing the bridge into SF.

Excellent view of golden gate bridge from top of mountain. Around 200 mtr Proper trail with steps from parking

Probably the best place to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Parking is a bit hard to find but people are always entering and leaving. Bring a tripod for some great time lapse shots of the bridge!
