Those who have booked flights from Vancouver to San Francisco will be traveling from one of the most vibrant cities on the West Coast to another.
Vancouver is full of history, particularly the Gastown area, the streets of which are paved with cobblestone and lined with Victorian buildings. Initially settled by sailor and gold prospector John "Gassy Jack" Deighton, the district has many things to offer tourists. Those who have enjoyed themselves in the Gastown district of Vancouver are sure to love the historic aspects of San Francisco.
Aside from old neighborhoods and buildings, one of the most best ways to learn about history in San Francisco is by taking a trip to the former prison Alcatraz. Located on an island about one-and-a-half miles off of the city's famed Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz is the most famous prison in American lore, having housed the likes of Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly.
Although Alcatraz ended its life as a prison in 1963, the facilities remain intact and are one of San Francisco's most popular tourist attractions. Those who took flights to San Francisco from Vancouver will want to make sure to stop by the American landmark.
