A truly stunning structure, the Golden Gate Bridge has been named one of the seven wonders of the modern world, and it's art-deco design is a triumph of form and function. The bridge connects the northern tip of the San Francisco peninsula with the Marin headlands, and sees about 10 million visitors per year, not including the motorists who commute across it every day. Walking over it, which is 1.7-mile trip, is perhaps the top attraction for tourists, and as long as you're not too afraid of heights it's a sublime experience.

It's best to take public transportation to reach the bridge entry, and there's a fleet of buses called Golden Gate Transit dedicated to this purpose. There are stops throughout the city; check the bridge website for schedules.
