The Golden Gate Bridge is what many tourists first think of when deciding what to see. The Golden Gate Bridge is rated the #1 San Francisco attraction.

The total length of the bridge including approaches is 8,981 ft. Length of suspension span including main span and side spans 6,450 ft. Height of towers above water 746 ft.

Painting the golden gate bridge is an ongoing task and the primary maintenance job. The paint protects the bridge from the high salt content in the air, which rusts and corrodes the steel components.

Everyone should see it, and walking across it is a thrill.
