I have a 4 hour lay over in Oakland, Do I have time to see the Golden Gate?
If so, what would be the best way to get there? Can I get to an area where I can just view it. Perhaps take some photos. Flight gets in at 7:30a.m. leaves at 12:30p.m.

considering traffic, and time to be at your gate for next flight, i would say i wouldn't risk taking the time to try. i live in the bay area. i think you would need more time.

I wouldn't recommend it. If you miss the flight for any reason, you'll be responsible for the change fees and there could also be a difference in fare. It really wouldn't be worth it.

probably not a good idea at that time in the morning considering rush hour traffic... figure you get in at 7:30... get out the airport by 7:45-8:00 depending on crowds, bags, etc... catch a cab to the oakland hills to get a view... it'll be 9am... and if it's foggy or rainy, then you won't see anything... then you'll have to slog back though the traffic to the airport... for a 12:45 flight, be there at the latest around 11:30ish... you'd have a couple of hours of rushing around and the cab fare would be expensive... you might actually have the best view from your flight into oakland... you may be able to pull it off, but I'm not sure you'll get the satisfaction of enjoying the bridge... perhaps a glimpse from many miles away... it's definitely worth it to see it up and close... and take a walk across it on a sunny day and check out the view of san francisco from it...
