10 awe-inspiring bridges & where to eat nearby

Opened in 1937, Joseph Strauss’ Art Deco suspension bridge stands proud above San Francisco Bay, connecting the city to Marin County. Its amber hue (called International Orange) blends with the nearby hills while making it distinct from the sea and the sky. The result is stunning – but it’s often shrouded in fog. Even so, it’s quite magical when driving across from the city in the mist, glimpsing the orange steel, and emerging into bright sunshine on the other side.
