Transportation Options / Issues: Take the Ferry to Tiburon, in Marin County
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Yes, you could also take the ferry to Alcatraz, but going to Tiburon makes you feel a little less like a tourist, a little more like one of the natives. But however hard I tried to blend in, I couldn't help but gawk and gape at the skyline at the ferry pulled out of the dock. I just help it - I'm from Kansas, after all!

  • While you're on the ferry, most of the regular commuters read newspapers or novels, or listen to their walkmen. It makes it easy to stand at the rail and take pictures without having to worry about someone clamoring behind you for their turn in front.

     I'd forgotten about the Palace of the Legion of Honor in "Vertigo." Good memory!

     Very helpful tips. Rear Window is one of my favourite Hitchcock movies and the city looks great in the movie. I've been here once but the memories are fading...
