If you plan to visit San Francisco you will not want to miss the chance to see the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Alcatraz at Fisherman's Wharf. You can see one of the world's most famous prison's and read the story of how two inmates were able to escape in this exciting museum. San Francisco is also host to the largest Chinese population outside China. It is truly a city designed within a city.
This famous prison was home to many convicts including Machine Gun Kelly, Al Capone, and Robert Stroud. The prison has an exponential amount of tourists each year. It was in operation for only 29 years and also has an audio tour. Alcatraz was known as the most inescapable prisons in the world. This is truly an amazing piece of San Francisco history:
The largest centre of Chinese and Chinese culture outside of China is located right here in San Francisco. Chinatown has vibrant people with excellent food and great hospitality. There are many different restaurants to choose from. This is a really exciting part of San Francisco that you don't want to miss out on.
The Golden Gate Bridge spans two miles across the San Francisco bay area. You will enjoy the scenic view of the ocean and the large metropolis in the distance. There is a $5 fee to travel southbound, while northbound is absolutely free. We really recommend that you walk or you're your bike as it is a very nice time to relax and enjoy the beauty and intricacies of this marvellous city.
These excellent pieces of history roll on 8.8 (14 km) miles of track along their original and preserved routes. They are motor less and run on underground cables. It is truly a rewarding experience for all ages to enjoy. The average speed is 9.5 miles per hour (15 km).
