In the game
The Golden Gate Bridge is the most famous landmark of Driver: San Francisco and one of the routes out of the city to Marin County. The game shows its red towers over the strait from the Presidio side, with the hills of Marin behind, as in VortexStory's comparison.
The real place
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937, and its 1,280-metre main span was the longest in the world until 1964. Its towers rise 227 metres above the water, and its colour, known as International Orange, was chosen to stand out in the fog.
Visiting
Walk or cycle across the east sidewalk, then look back from Battery East or Fort Point on the San Francisco side, where this photo was taken. Fog often covers the bridge on summer mornings, so check the webcams before you go.
Golden Gate Bridge is also in Watch Dogs 2 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. See all 3 games side by side
