Mountain views, bustling waterfront, and lively downtown in Alaska’s capital city

Mountains Island Coastal Restaurants Bars Hiking Scenic Views Walkable Downtown Trails Forest Historic

Juneau is Alaska’s state capitol with its downtown nestled between Mount Juneau, Mount Roberts, and Gastineau Channel. Downtown Juneau is a blend of new buildings, old storefronts, and quaint houses with 19th century architecture from the town’s early gold mining days. The second most populated city in Alaska, residents enjoy entertaining local restaurants and bars, such as Red Dog Saloon, a Western-style pub with live music, or Hangar On The Wharf, the most popular spot for locals in Juneau.

This city can only be reached by airplane or boat, making it an incredible secluded destination to get away from it all amidst breathtaking landscapes. Whale watching tours and cruise ships line the bustling waterfront while hikers enjoy the multitude of hiking trails above the tree lines, through the mountains, and over the creeks. Mt. Roberts Trailhead is a great hiking area, and Savikko Park, referred to as Sandy Beach, overlooks the glistening water and gorgeous mountain peaks. Once you find your apartment in this Alaskan oasis, ride the Mount Roberts Tramway for incredible aerial views of beautiful Juneau.
