The famous Golden Gate Bridge is, quite probably, the most recognizable landmark of San Francisco. Moreover, it also ranks among the top 10 US landmarks. Located between San Francisco and Marin County, this is a one mile long and 746 feet tall beast of a bridge.
If you’re going to the City, as the locals call it, don’t miss a chance to snap a selfie or two on or near the bridge. Pick the perfect caption and the right angle and snap some of the most impressive selfies your followers will ever see. You should go with a caption that conveys the cool factor of the bridge, its worldwide renown, and beauty.

Alcatraz Captions
The Federal Penitentiary on the island was operational between 1934 and 1963 and housed some of America’s most notorious criminals of the era. Al Capone, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Alvin Creepy Karpis, and Robert Franklin Stroud were among the most prominent residents of the federal prison. The famous 1962 escape of three inmates (Clarence and John Anglin and Frank Morris) was the main reason the prison got closed the following year.
As one of the most notorious places in the country, Alcatraz demands some cool and gritty captions.
