Location Highlights:POPULAR DESTINATIONS - - ALCATRAZ ISLANDThis famous prison was once the chilling destination of maximum-security convicts. Alcatraz now sees hundreds of thousands more tourists per year than the total number of prisoners in its entire 29-year life as a federal penitentiary! Audio-assisted tours in several languages recount the history of the island and its famous inmate inhabitants: Machine Gun Kelley, Al Capone, Robert Stroud, "the Birdman of Alcatraz."
