In the game

The orange suspension bridge across the Golden Gate, seen from the old brick buildings at its southern end.

The real place

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937 and was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1964. Its colour is called International Orange and was chosen to stand out in the fog. The brick fort under the southern end is Fort Point, from 1861.

Visiting

Walk or cycle across on the east sidewalk. For the classic view from above, drive or hike to Battery Spencer on the Marin side. Summer mornings are often foggy; autumn is usually clearer.
