Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: The island served as a military fort before becoming a federal prison that housed notorious criminals like Al Capone. Nearly 1.5 million tourists explore it each year, walking through its eerie cells and guard towers.
Punti salienti: A captivating audio tour brings former inmates and guards to life, sharing firsthand stories you can almost hear echoing in the cold stone corridors. The views from the island reveal sweeping panoramas of San Francisco’s skyline, bay bridges, and even the Golden Gate cloaked in mist.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven and sometimes wet surfaces.
- Bring layers since windy conditions can make it chilly even in summer.
- Don't miss the whispering gallery in the dining hall, a unique acoustic oddity.
- Timing your visit just before sunset gives the best photo light of the city skyline.

Li ho fatti in decine di città e sono stati il momento clou di quasi ogni viaggio. Se visiti San Francisco, United States, fallo il primo giorno. Mi ringrazierai dopo.
