Golden Gate Bridge
must-seeFreeTwo and a half kilometres over the strait, painted an orange chosen to show in fog.
Ride across to Sausalito and come back by ferry: hire at Fisherman's Wharf, the ferry takes bikes, and the view of the bridge from the water on the way back is the one nobody gets by stopping at the viewpoint.
free on foot and by bike; only the southbound car crossing is tolled
View detailsAlcatraz
must-seePrice unconfirmedA federal prison on a rock, closed in 1963 because it cost three times any other.
The cellblock audio tour is narrated by former inmates and former guards and is included in the ticket: it is what makes the visit, not the walls. Take the first crossing — it is hard to follow in the noise.
ferry crossing and audio tour included in a single ticket sold by one concessionaire; rate to be checked
