San Francisco is one of the world's great cities, which happens to lie at the heart of one of the earth's most breathtaking natural landscapes. Get to know San Francisco up-close on this 3-day deluxe trip. Stay in a unique and charming downtown hotel, minutes by foot (or cable car) from Chinatown, Union Square, North Beach, and the waterfront. You'll discover the real San Francisco – and the romance of the old Barbary Coast!

Some of the world's best shopping can be found around Union Square, near your hotel. Walk along the waterfront, or shop-and-cafe your way though Chinatown and North Beach, all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. Spend an afternoon in Golden Gate Park, where you can visit the California Academy of Sciences Museum or the Asian Art Museum., or just relax at the Japanese Tea Garden.

Optional tours include all of San Francisco's major attractions, and many more that only the locals know about: Golden Gate Park, the Cliff House, Seal Rocks, the Golden Gate Bridge, Twin Peaks, Mission Dolores, the Mission and Castro Neighborhoods, Civic Center, Nob Hill, the Financial District, Union Square, Chinatown and North Beach.

Cruise across San Francisco Bay to Alcatraz, the infamous former federal prison - home to the likes of Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelley, and Robert "The Birdman" Stroud. The National Park presents a captioned orientation video with historical footage, self-guided walks, exhibits and Ranger-interpretive talks on topics such as "Famous Escapes." Also featured is an award-winning audio tour in the prison Cell House with actual interviews of former guards and inmates (available in six languages - English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish). In addition to the famous prison, Alcatraz features some of the most spectacular views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate from the beautifully landscaped Agave Trail. A walk along the trail winds through a protected bird sanctuary.
