Alcatraz is one of the most famous prisons in the world and a must-see when in San Francisco. Situated in the middle of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz was an uninhabited island until it was converted into a fort in 1860
Opened between 1934 and 1963 as a maximum security prison, its corridors have held prisoners considered to be highly dangerous. Al Capone, Robert Franklin Stroud aka “The Birdman of Alcatraz”, Mickey Cohen, and Rafael Cancel Miranda have inhabited these cells in years past.
Visiting Alcatraz means taking a ferry at Pier 33 that will take you directly to The Rock in just 20 minutes. Once there, you can learn about the history of this prison and, of course, the numerous escape attempts made by the prisoners. Did any prisoner manage to escape? You will find out!
