Go really early, crowds for wait time , ferry . Long Interesting , but flies all over, from ferry to all over island , birds 🦅 fly over , watch for poop droppings , such a strong stink when you pull into island . Staff where you pick up audio tour , headsets so rude!

You can use the museum audio or your own telephone with a QR code if you do this take your own headphones for comfort. Go really early before the crowds. You can’t eat on the island. Know as much as you can before arriving it will enhance your visit

The audio tour is great!
The audio tour is great! Everyone can enjoy this tour at his own pace. Also there are Park Rangers that will tell you more amazing stories about different aspects of the island and it's buildings.

Everyone should visit at least once.
Everyone should visit at least once. The history is interesting and the self guided audio tour lets you go at your own pace. Be prepared for a windy and chilly ferry ride there and back but the scenery is breathtaking

I was actually taken there by my friend, as I hadn't planned to go there and if I has missed this, I would have regret this until the rest of my life! I was very surprised, how great Alcatraz - place and its' history is. Not only the travel there is fast and pleasurable, but being there and listening to the audio guide with recorded voices of prisoners and guards, while doing a tour inside the Alcatraz prison is unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!JoannaCzech Republic - 10Scored 10

SIt on the top left part of the Ferry Boat on the way to Alcatraz for the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge (if not foggy) and the Island as you approach; bring a jacket/sweatshirt...you'll need it.

- From £166.37 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 2,241 reviewsThe shower was great, very modern and powerful. The location was ideal for Chinese town and not too far to get taxi to pier for Alcatraz so was quite cheap. You can walk but it was very early when we left and had to be there at 8am. Bed was super comfy and there was a coffee maker in the roomJadeUnited Kingdom
- From £94.05 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 1,642 reviewsWe had a private room in this hostel which was perfect for our 3 night stay and had a view overlooking Alcatraz and stepping out of the hostel into the park gave incredible views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Parking was fabulous in a very safe area which was great for peace of mind given the situation with car break ins in San Francisco at the moment. Security on site was great too.AliceUnited Kingdom
- From £226.25 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 4,885 reviewsAn interesting busy place in touristy Fisherman's Wharf. The lobby is spacious offering high tables from meals brought from outside. Original decoration and plenty of games and camp fires in the courtyard where you can cook your mashmallows. Excellent location, close to the cable car turn over and pier 39. You can easily walk to Alcatraz cruise deck or even to Exploratorium, a very interesting science museum.

The location was next to a few places that were opened late if you had a late-night craving. The room itself with the view of the bay is highly recommended. Nice views directly over Pier 39, the Ferris wheel, and Alcatraz if you're into that kind of thing!Funciety, LLCUnited States

- From £139 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 1,604 reviewsOverall this place met my expectations due to its location, walking distance to Aquatic Cove beach, cable car, Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 33 for Alcatraz ferry. The room was clean and of decent size with large beds (family 2+2) and equipped with fridge, coffee machine, ironing set and TV. There is lots of nice restaurants near hotel and I found this location very safe even for night walks.

Number 1 attraction is Alcatraz and you can't come here without visiting
Number 1 attraction is Alcatraz and you can't come here without visiting. Amazing experience. However this was probably surpassed by cycling over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and taking the ferry back. You will get amazing photos of the bridge doing it this way. World Series Baseball was on during our trip to California which San Francisco were in and eventually won which added an extra buzz to the city. In our time in San Francisco the Giants were in Kansas but the whole city was alive with Giants talk. Buy a MUNI visitor passport. At the start of the day you'll want to walk everywhere but those hills take their toll and you'll be glad you can jump on any bus, streetcar or cable car later in the day

A trip to Alcatraz island is worth the time but book before you arrive to avoid disappointment
Try the Big Bus an excellent way to see this large and varied city. Try later in the year the weather is good and the summer travellers will have gone home. A trip to Alcatraz island is worth the time but book before you arrive to avoid disappointment. If the crowds overwhelm you head for the Haight or the Golden Gate park where there is space for all.

Listen to the history of Alcatraz first hand from convicts and guards via the headphones while exploring the cells. The voices and background sounds bring everything to life.

Alcatraz is the most prominent tourist thing to do but if you don't want to spend an afternoon there, or tickets are sold out (get them in advance btw), just waking along the pier there is loads to see
Alcatraz is the most prominent tourist thing to do but if you don't want to spend an afternoon there, or tickets are sold out (get them in advance btw), just waking along the pier there is loads to see. If you only have a few days there, a good way to see the city is the bus tours.
