Alcatraz

From the mid 1930's until the mid 1960's, Alcatraz was America's premier maximum-security prison. Today, Alcatraz is one of San Francisco's most prominent landmarks and tourist attractions.

Coit Tower

The 210-foot tower sits atop Telegraph Hill, built with funds left by Lillie Hitchcock Coit. Visitors are treated to a spectacular 360-degree view of the city from the top. The parking lot is only accessible by Telegraph Hill Blvd, or on foot by walking up the Greenwich steps or via the Filbert Steps at Montgomery St.

Lombard Street

Best known for one block on Russian Hill between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, in which the roadway has earned the distinction of being "the crookedest street in the United States." The design was born out of necessity in order to reduce the hill's natural 27-degree slope to a lesser 16-degree incline.
