Anchorage
Anchorage is Alaska's biggest city, nestled between the Chugach Mountains and the waters of Cook Inlet. It is a friendly hub where city life mixes with wild nature right at the doorstep.
Anchorage is famous for its bike trails, museums, and the fact that moose sometimes wander down city streets. Visitors love it as the perfect starting point for Alaskan adventures, with fun food, art, and views of six mountain ranges.
City Meets Wild
In Anchorage you can shop and eat downtown, then bike the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and see moose or beluga whales. It is one of the few cities where wild animals share the neighborhood.
Museums and Culture
The Anchorage Museum and the Alaska Native Heritage Center teach visitors about Alaska's people, history, and science. Kids can explore hands-on exhibits and see traditional houses and dances.
Midnight Sun
In summer the sun barely sets, giving Anchorage almost 22 hours of daylight in June. Families enjoy playing outside late into the evening under the soft glow of the midnight sun.
