Berlitz Pocket Travel Guides are designed to suit every pocket. Put the world at your feet with the world-famous little guides that pack a wealth of information about the world’s finest destinations. From an historical overview to the current scene, from the best transportation to and from the airport, to whether or not to haggle with the vendor in the market, these guides help travellers enjoy each trip to the fullest. While touring the "city be the bay", pass by Pier 39, a tourist complex based on recycled lumber from old wharves. Visitors come to shop, snack or dine, watch street performers, ride a double-deck carousel, or admire the view of the bay. Visit one of the most famous penitentiary, known as "the Rock" or simply, Alcatraz, which served as America’s most forbidden federal penitentiary from 1934 to 1963
