Top 4 Recommendations in San Francisco

1. Immerse yourself in the stories of the island of Alcatraz

I'm sure you've ever seen or at least heard the name of this little island in San Francisco Bay. In it is the Alcatraz Lighthouse, used as a military and federal prison until 1963. We recommend hiring a tour to learn the most interesting stories that happened in it. It can be reached by ferry from Pier 33.

The ideal place to enjoy a family day, as you can find restaurants and food stalls of all kinds, children's areas and areas where you can see sea lions up close. In addition, the San Francisco National Marine Park, the Ghirardelli Square and the Cannery Shopping Centre are also located there.

3. Get on the tram to see the best views of the city's streets

One of the best ways to get an interesting view of the city is on board the tram, which has been running since the end of the 19th century.
