"The City of Wilderness"

Juneau Tourism

A popular cruise destination in Alaska, Juneau is in no way connected to other parts of the state other than through waterways. This place has wildlife, art & culture and hiking trails in abundance. The state has a rich history of mining and there are many museums and trails pertaining to the same. Getting around the city isn't quite easy given the bad public transport. So traveling by a car is quite ideal but mind you, the taxes are very high!

Juneau is a good place for cyclists, though it is not preferable for mountain bikers due to the steep slopes. Also on the to-do list are whale-watching, ziplining and paddling, which are very popular here. The city has a bunch of art galleries and tourists have a great deal of works to choose from. Also, there are many bars and bistros all around and there is a lot to eat from.
