Om
Snabba fakta: 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.
Höjdpunkter: 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.
Insidertips
- 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.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker San Francisco, United States, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
