Which one is better?

Hard one. I think I will go for Golden Gate but only because it is tall.

Golden gate bridge. Actually I like both.

they're both classics, impossible to choose for me...

GG suits SF and BB suits NY.

can't imagen BB in SF and GG in NY

But I like GG more :D

As a bay area resident I have to give this one to the Golden Gate Bridge. They are both great though.

Golden Gate Bridge. I love it.

as a native bay arean, i have to choose the Golden Gate. But I agree, both fit their city well.

Golden Gate is the best in the world

I'm probably abit biased because I have seen and driven over the Golden Gate, so my vote goes to GG.

Golden Gate, possibly the most famous bridge in the world.

Golden Gate :cool:

Brooklyn Bridge is more unique.

they both can't be compared. they're both so different in so many ways. i can't choose.

Golden Gate. I love it.

Straight out Brooklyn.

This is hard. I've seen both in person. Golden Gate is a tad more impressive.
But as OettingerCroat pointed out, they both suit their city well.

both, they are so diferent!!

The Brooklyn Bridge is certainly an architectural beauty, but overall the Golden Gate is more dramatic. It's longer and higher. Rathering than spanning a river, it spans the part of San Francisco Bay that opens into the Pacific Ocean. As you cross, if you look east, you see the Bay. And if you look west, you see the endless abyss of the Pacific. Finally, the topography surrounding the Golden Gate is very beautiful.

Brooklyn bridge is just dramatic especially at night. jmo

both amazing and diferent!!

Brooklyn Bridge :)

I like cable structure, its more complex and hard imagination to bring it reality and make it precision every span of bridge....

Oh brother. I love the Brooklyn Bridge but The Golden Gate is more symbolic and longer. It also serves as a gateway bridge.

I think it's better if it's Golden Gate VS. Verrazano Narrows.

this thread is History meets Modern society

im gonna have to side with the BK bridge only because i have never been on the american west coast

Equal , Both nice !

Brooklyn Bridge

The GoldenGate is awsome

Impossible to choose, but the GG is - by far - the most dangerous of the two to travel on.

What makes it dangerous? Earthquakes?

Golden is Americas best

Golden is Americas best

Not the best but one of the most iconic

Brooklyn Bridge
Trapped Godzilla after all :rofl:

Golden Gate

Brooklyn has a much better backdrop.

Yeah I'm with you. Besides, the Golden Gate does something that I'm pretty sure the other doesn't... It disappears! For those of you whom have never witnessed it, the fog can come in on a clear day and cover the bridge completely in ten minutes. Completely concealing the bridge.

I say Brooklyn due to the revolutionary way it was constructed and in its time period. The man who carried on the idea of his father to construct practically put his life on the line to do it and ended up paralysing himself when refusing to go to the surface for oxygen. His wife carried on his work and did a great job by persuading people for more funding. It's a massive icon.
Golden Gate is brilliant but it wasnt revolutionary as two other bridges were built in the same area around the same time. One of which is much much longer than it.

Brooklyn Bridge is the best. The Golden Gate is so overrated - it's an orange suspension bridge! The Brooklyn Bridge is beautiful, and has so much to it, history, all of it. And it looks so much nicer, the stone is so amazing.

The Golden Gate is more photogenic to me, but the Brooklyn Bridge was an engineering feat as well.

Brooklyn Bridge is getting a makeover!

The Akashi Kaikyo!

Seriously, it's difficult to compare the two being from different times. I find it amazing that Roebling thought that a 2,000 foot mainspan would be the maximum and here the entire suspended section of the Brooklyn Bridge (mainspan and both side spans combined at 3,455 feet /1,053 meters total) can fit in between the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge at 4,200 feet / 1,280 meters. To take it a step further... the entire suspended sections of the Golden Gate Bridge (mainspan and both side spans combined at 6,450 feet / 1,966 meters total) can fit between the towers of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge of 6,532 feet / 1,991 meters. The side spans of the AKB alone are 3,150 feet each - nearly twice the size of the mainspan of the Brooklyn Bridge and over 50% longer than what Roebling thought the maximum of what a mainspan could be. If and when the Strait of Messina Bridge becomes a reality, its mainspan of 10,827 feet / 3,300 meters would be like adding the Golden Gate's mainspan to the Akashi Kaikyo's mainspan with 95 feet / 29 meters to spare. Another comparison of the Strait of Messina's mainspan is that it would be as long as ALL the suspended spans of both the Brooklyn and Golden Gate Bridges COMBINED with over 900 feet / 274 meters to spare.

Obviously the Brooklyn Bridge.

I have to give props to the Brooklyn Bridge. It was one of the first suspension bridges to be built, and still has that unique look to it.

The Golden Gate is for me the Best!!!

My vote goes to GG - seen both while over there on holiday, GG was more iconic for me

After visiting San Francisco, and hiking down the cliff on the San Francisco side of the Golden Gate Bridge, I have to give it to the Golden Gate Bridge. The views are amazing.
