Great historical place you can walk, bike, or drive on however the bike and walking lanes are together and some cyclists are riding fast and can easily become a safety hazard. Besides that you get a beautifully breathtaking view when on the bridge that is second to none. Definitely a must do if you are in the area with at least an hour to kill. Also I recommend a jacket or a warm sweater or is usually windy with all the cars driving by.
