€ 1 - 50

A visit to Alcatraz cannot be missed when visiting San Francisco. Who hasn’t heard about the notorious, scary prison that was built on an island? These imposing walls and the captivating stories of former inmates is what keeps visitors intrigued. To get there, you have to take a ferry from Pier 33. Make sure to arrive on time, because the lines grow fast! Of course, as with everything, the earlier you arrive the better your chances. Less than 10 minutes after departing you’ll arrive at the island. First of all: it is such an amazing and interesting experience! We really urge you to make use of and listen to the audioguide. We guarantee you this will make the whole experience better and more interesting! From walking into cells to hearing interesting stories of escape attempts, you get a glimpse into former prison life and learn a lot about the history. On top of that, Alcatraz has amazing wildlife, too. Make sure to look on the island for a lot of birds and salamanders, but keep an eye on the ocean as well for the chance of spotting whales! It is definitely one of the best things to do in San Francisco. Make sure to book your tickets in advance for this fascinating island prison! You won’t regret it.
