If you're going to visit San Francisco for once in your life, then your tour is incomplete without visiting Alcatraz. But there are some things, which are necessary for you to know -

Before visiting Alcatraz, you should book your ticket at least months in advance. You can book your ticket from one week to 3 months before organizing your tour.

It is mostly recommended to all of the visitors going to visit Alcatraz Island that they should choose flat-soled shoes, because you would come along with steep hills.

It would be necessary for you to reach at pier 33 with your pre-purchased ticket for onboarding. It would be good for you to use a cruise facility to visit this historic island.
