7 Things You Can Only Do In in San Francisco (At Night)
1. Check out the Bay Bridge lights
At night, the utilitarian-looking San Francisco Bay Bridge transforms into a beautiful light sculpture with ever-changing light displays and patterns.
Check out the show from the top of the Coit Tower, or watch from the Embarcadero area located between the Bay Bridge ridge and the Ferry Building.
2. See Alcatraz at night
The infamous prison is even creepier at night than it is during the day… And that’s saying a lot!
If you’d like a chance to meet the ghosts of some of the most vicious criminals that ever lived, check out one of the Alcatraz Nighttime Tours.
The experience is worth the nightmares you will undoubtedly get afterward!
3. Go see the Speakeasy
Not just any speakeasy – The Speakeasy.
Complete with flappers, floozies, and gangsters straight out of the 1920s, it will take you back to the days of vice and debauchery in a unique “choose-your-own-adventure” experience.
