Juneau Travelers Recommend

The Alaskan capital, Juneau has a tangible sense of history and contemporary charm. Explore the waterfront on your first day in Juneau, taking a stroll past the historic clapboard buildings lining Franklin Street. Drop into a seafood restaurant to taste the flavours of the sea, or shop for Native American artworks and artefacts in the town’s souvenir and craft stores. For insights into the boom-era town, visit the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, or discover brewing history and lip-smacking ales at the Alaskan Brewing Company’s headquarters in Juneau. You know you’re in Alaska when you visit Glacier Bay National Park. Tidewater glaciers spill down from the surrounding snow-clad mountains, icebergs dot the lakes, and hiking trails wind their way past forests of spruce. Kayaking, wildlife-watching and wildflower trails are other highlights of a visit to Glacier Bay. For the most stunning views imaginable, arrive at Glacier Bay by helicopter.
