Alcatraz

Located in San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz is an infamous Federal Prison that was once a maximum security facility. Today, Alcatraz is a popular tourist attraction that draws more than 1.5 million visitors annually. During its existence, Alcatraz became a military fort as well as a place where American Indians and Confederate prisoners were held. In addition, it was home to the west coast's first lighthouse.

Alcatraz Island

Visitors can visit Alcatraz during the day or night. In addition to touring the island, visitors can also enjoy the surrounding nature preserve. The nighttime tour offers a unique look at the city's skyline. There are also some historical exhibitions on the island.

Alcatraz is a 225-acre island that was once the location of a federal prison. This was a maximum security prison, where inmates were kept in strict conditions. The prison was a clean and efficient facility. However, the cost per prisoner was too high to keep it open for long periods. The prison was closed in 1963.

Alcatraz is a popular tourist destination because of its history. Visitors can learn about the prison's history, listen to the legends of Alcatraz and tour the island. It is also a popular location for group tours. For example, school groups, seniors and professional travel groups can visit the island. These tours must be booked in advance.

The National Park Service provides a 45-minute guided tour of Alcatraz. Visitors can also listen to an introductory talk by a park ranger.
