Top Rated Attracties in San Francisco

Niet langer een gevangenis voor een aantal van de meest gevaarlijke criminelen van Amerika. Alcatraz is een onderdeel van het National Parl Service en is een must-see voor de bezoekers van de stad. Eenmaal op het eiland wordt je zeker gevangen door de geschiedenis en de immense schoonheid. Neem je camera mee, want ongeacht het uitzicht, er is altijd een fotomoment. Draag laagjes kleding )zelfs in de zomermaanden' want het eiland kan winderig zijn en het is tochtig en vochtig tussen de muren van de gevangenis. Als je de kinders wilt laten schrikken om zich te gedragen, is er een cellen audio rondleiding van Alcatraz; voor meer informatie kijk op de website. Veerboten naar Alcatra vertrekken van Pier 33, gerund door Alcatraz Cruises. Bekijk de website voor het huidige schema en compleet overzicht van de details van een bezoek.
