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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

What makes it dangerous? Earthquakes?

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.
