For great tour ideas and vacation activities visit and discover the best , and and much more.
San Francisco, the City by the Bay is one of the most unique cities in the world and it draws a number of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] tourists from around the world to enjoy the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sites of Fisherman's Wharf, the Financial District and, of course, Alcatraz Island. The prison has long since been closed for its originally intended purpose, but people still flock to it to this very day to take advantage of the (in)famous Alcatraz tour that gives a modern audience a glimpse into the strange realm of this long abandoned prison and its malevolent past.
A Brief Overview of Alcatraz Island
It has been many years since Alcatraz has closed its doors for good. At one time, the island prison [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] was the home to incorrigible offenders who had no hope for rehabilitation. Those criminals were then [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] condemned [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to serve out their sentences on this island which was located in the San Francisco [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Bay.
If one could escape from the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] cell, make it past the guards, climb over the walls while avoiding the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] detection of the guards, then they merely had to swim 3 miles through frigid, shark infested waters to escape to freedom. Needless to say, this was not something that was going to be easy to achieve and Alcatraz quickly became an infamous and feared prison. In a way, it was the Americanized, scaled back version of the notorious French prison colony Devil's Island.
The experience of visiting the island on an Alcatraz tour provides the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] public with a rare glimpse into a world that has long since departed. Alcatraz, despite its ominous nature, represents a twisted piece of Americana when gangs and gangsters "" driven by the economic collapse of the depression "" committed irresponsible crime sprees that needed to be deterred. Alcatraz became the symbol of deterrence as serving hard time on The Rock [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] gave many would be criminals second thoughts.
So why is there all this interest in an Alcatraz tour? The popularity of an Alcatraz tour comes down to one thing: curiosity. What an Alcatraz tour provides is a brief glimpse into a life of imprisonment as well as a glimpse into America's past. (A prison as arcane as Alcatraz Island would never be conceived in the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] modern era)
While this may [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] sound somewhat cerebral, there is also a great element of fun to taking an Alcatraz tour. Exploring the unknown has a certain sense of excitement to it and the glimpse into the unknown that an Alcatraz tour offers provides a great vehicle for fun and anyone with a passing interest in American historical pop culture is advised to take the tour.
