San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge
The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge is one of the world's great bridge complexes — a 4.5-mile engineering marvel spanning the bay through Yerba Buena Island, carrying 260,000 vehicles daily while also offering a beloved 2.2-mile cycling and walking path, stunning panoramic viewpoints, and the internationally acclaimed Bay Lights public art installation on its western cables. While overshadowed in popularity by its neighbor the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge offers visitors something more intimate and participatory: you can bike or walk across its deck, pause at purpose-built overlooks for sweeping bay views, and witness one of the world's largest public light art installations transform the bridge into a shimmering sequined gown after dark.
