Alcatraz Night Ticket With North Beach Walking Tour

Alcatraz is different at dusk. Crowds thin as the daytime visitors depart, and the island feels quieter, more isolated. This atmospheric, cultural experience begins in North Beach, SF’s “Little Italy.”

Here, your guide walks you through its historic streets. Inside Saints Peter and Paul Church, you’ll admire its Italian marble altar and hear about its connection to Joe DiMaggio. Along the way, your guide shares lesser-known views of Lombard Street, the Golden Gate Bridge, and more.

From there, head to Fisherman’s Wharf to greet the sea lions at Pier 39. Then your guide leads you to your Alcatraz ferry as you bid farewell and cruise across the bay. When you disembark, a ranger meets you and walks you up to the cellhouse. Explore at your own pace. Your ticket includes exclusive programs and access to areas closed during the day, including the hospital ward and solitary confinement.
