Things to Do in Anchorage

Drop your bags at your Anchorage hotel, then head over to the Alaska Native Heritage Center to explore the culture and history of Alaskan native groups from the Athabascan to the Aleut. If you're really "Inuit", see more at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, where you can browse Alaskan artefacts and art. About 130 km southeast of downtown Anchorage, the Wildlife Conservation Center is a great place to see all the indigenous fauna you can "bear", from moose to eagles to, yes, bears. Don't leave Chugach State Park out of your plans, unless you hate beautiful scenery, wildlife and incredible hiking (“Chugach” something better to do?). Most visitors to Anchorage come in the summertime, but it's a whole other world in the icy winter months. If you're lucky enough to be in town on the first Saturday of March, you can witness the start of the legendary Iditarod dog sledding race.

Getting To & Around Anchorage

Land at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) just 10 km away from the city centre and hop on the bus to get downtown or ride the shuttle to pick up one of Wotif’s car hire deals. Cabs are also available at the curb. Downtown Anchorage is quite walkable, but to get to more distant parts of the city, you're best off relying on the bus or booking your own set of wheels.
