4. The Alcatraz<\/strong><\/h5>\n

We’ve all heard of the famous island prison, right? A trip to Alcatraz is a must not only for its rich and interesting history of the island, but also for the stunning views of the San Francisco Bay and the city Skyline. Being a fan of gangster movies this was probably the best part of my San Francisco visit – you can actually step into a cell and experience how it feels to be isolated from the rest of the world. Hearing stories about the attempts to escape the island… yep, still gives me the chills! You can buy tickets online<\/a> or at Pier 33 near Fisherman’s Wharf.<\/p>\n
