Itinerary
Sausalito is a Marin County city across the Golden Gate Strait from San Francisco. It’s known for its Richardson Bay houseboat enclaves, which were built by artist squatters after WWII.
Completed in 1937 the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world.
From 1934 until 1963, Alcatraz was America's premier maximum-security prison, the final stop for the nation's most incorrigible prisoners.
The Financial District is the city’s business center. Among the skyscrapers that dominate the skyline are the striking, spire-topped Transamerica Pyramid building and the Salesforce Tower.
The San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge, known locally as the Bay Bridge, is a complex of bridges spanning San Francisco Bay in California.

About San Francisco
San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.
The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
Top-ranked sights in San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, San Francisco Chinatown.
