🇺🇸 Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, USA
Introducing a travel itinerary for the Golden Gate Bridge, a landmark in San Francisco, California, USA.
1️⃣ Renting a bike from Blazing Saddles Bike Rentals & Tours (Photos 2-3)
The way I chose to travel across the Golden Gate Bridge was to ride a bike across the Golden Gate Bridge to a small town called Sausalito. So I rented a bike from Blazing Saddles Bike Rentals & Tours in downtown San Francisco and paid $42 for the 3-hour rental fee and ferry fare.
2️⃣ Riding a bike to the Golden Gate Bridge (Photos 4-7)
Riding a bike to see the Golden Gate Bridge and riding a bike for about 40 minutes will take you to the entrance of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are quite a few uphill sections on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge, but the scenery is so beautiful that it doesn't feel that difficult if you enjoy the scenery.
3️⃣ Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge (Photos 8-10)
The Golden Gate Bridge is divided into a bike path, a car path, and a pedestrian path, so you have to choose your path carefully. You can also enjoy the sunset of San Francisco over the horizon while crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.
4️⃣ Sightseeing in Sausalito (Photos 11-13)
When you cross the Golden Gate Bridge, you arrive at a small town called Sausalito. It was lovely because it had the atmosphere of a small town in southern Italy. In particular, San Francisco as seen from Sausalito is very beautiful.
5️⃣ Taking a ferry from Sausalito to San Francisco (Photos 14-15)
You can take a ferry from the Sausalito ferry station to San Francisco. You can enjoy the night views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco on the way there.
If you are traveling to San Francisco, USA, enjoy the Golden Gate Bridge with this itinerary 🇺🇸💙

A beautiful and peaceful town
📍Sausalito
This place, which means 'little willow tree', is a resort town that you can find after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It is a wealthy town among expensive San Francisco towns, but it is a town that feels really peaceful and leisurely..✨
It is a very cool place where you can take a picture of anywhere in the town and it looks like a postcard or a picture book. If you buy a snack and walk around, you will want to plan your retirement in Sausalito.. It is a peaceful island town.
The ice cream shop "LAPPERT'S", which is famous among locals, was also delicious. Since there are not many tourists, you can leisurely enjoy the sunshine and take a walk around the town. If you go to San Francisco, you must visit🙌🏻

Sausalito Waterfront – Sausalito, CA
#springitinerary
Spring in Sausalito brought perfect days by the Bay. The waterfront buzzed with charm — sailboats in the harbor, blooming planters along the walkways, and cozy cafes to stop and linger. I rented a bike in San Francisco and rode over the Golden Gate Bridge into town — a springtime must! Views of Alcatraz and the skyline sparkled under clear skies. #springitinerary tip: grab coffee and stroll the docks, or take the ferry back for a scenic return. Sausalito in spring is a blend of coastal calm and easy adventure.

Floating Dreams: The Timeless Allure of Sausalito’s Bohemian Houseboats
#springitinerary
There’s something quietly magical about the Sausalito houseboats. Maybe it’s the gentle lapping of the bay against their floating foundations, or the kaleidoscope of colors and quirky details that make each one a work of art. Perhaps it’s the history—the whispers of artists, free spirits, and dreamers who once called these boats home, crafting a floating village that defied convention and embraced creativity.
Today, these houseboats stand as living icons of Sausalito’s bohemian soul, a charming patchwork of individuality and nautical nostalgia. Strolling along the docks, you don’t just see homes—you see stories. Some houseboats look like pirate ships with whimsical figureheads; others resemble miniature Victorian cottages perched on the water, complete with flower boxes and wind chimes dancing in the sea breeze.
What makes these houseboats so captivating isn’t just their unique architecture, but the way they embody freedom and simplicity. Life here is about waking up to the glow of the sunrise over the bay, kayaking from your doorstep, and letting the tides set the rhythm of your day. It’s about embracing a lifestyle that floats gently between land and sea, city and escape, reality and reverie.
For visitors, wandering the Gate 5 and Gate 6 houseboat communities feels like stepping into a secret world where art, nature, and community collide. The docks are often open to curious souls, offering a rare peek into a way of life that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly untethered.
Sausalito’s houseboats remind us that home doesn’t need to be rooted to the ground to be anchored in joy.

Golden Gate Vista Point
Golden Gate Vista Point offers stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline, especially at sunrise or sunset. A charming touch is the birds often perching on the “Vista Point” sign, adding to the scenic experience. It’s easily accessible but can get crowded, so arrive early and bring a jacket for the wind.
