Seattle Waterfront featuring boating, sailing and city views

Downtown Seattle

City centre Seattle buzzes with excitement around Pike Place Market, where flying fish and flower stalls captivate visitors. Glass towers reflect the shimmer of Elliott Bay while the Seattle Art Museum anchors cultural life. The waterfront piers and aquarium blend salt air with the city's famous coffee aromas for a quintessential Pacific Northwest experience. Light rail connects you to the airport, while trams link the waterfront to Capitol Hill. You'll find everything from food trucks to fine dining, and hotels range from business-focused to boutique gems. The mix of modern skyscrapers and historic brick buildings creates a dramatic cityscape that's best explored on foot.

Seattle_CapitolHill_6004993_03

Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill pulses with creative energy and indie spirit, making it Seattle's premier arts and nightlife district. Lake View Cemetery houses Bruce Lee's grave while vintage shops line the Pike/Pine corridor. Cal Anderson Park offers a lively community space with its fountain, and the area bursts with colourful murals, eclectic cafes, and LGBTQ+-friendly venues. From farm-to-table restaurants to late-night food trucks, Capitol Hill serves up Seattle's most diverse dining scene. The area is incredibly walkable, with excellent public transit including the Capitol Hill Station connecting city centre in just five minutes. Accommodation ranges from trendy boutique hotels to quirky hostels in historic buildings.

The area pulses with energy as cocktail lounges and rooftop bars offer stunning Elliott Bay views. Pike Place Market and the Space Needle are just a short walk away for when you need that classic Seattle fix. Restaurants range from casual cafes to upscale Pacific Northwest cuisine spots where reservations are recommended. Most of Belltown is comfortably walkable with frequent bus service, and the nearby Westlake Station connects you to Seattle's light rail system. High-rise hotels and boutique properties offer stylish places to rest between adventures.

Queen Anne showing a city and landscape views

Queen Anne

Queen Anne pairs iconic Seattle views with leafy residential charm. Kerry Park serves up postcard-perfect skyline shots with the Space Needle against Elliott Bay. The Seattle Centre campus buzzes with cultural heavyweights like Chihuly Garden and Glass and the Museum of Pop Culture. Victorian mansions line tree-canopied streets while Kinnear Park offers forested trails for nature lovers. Upscale bistros and area cafes dot the landscape, serving seasonal Pacific Northwest cuisine worth the splurge. Getting around is simple with tram connections and bus routes, though the steep hills make for challenging but rewarding walks. Most visitors stay in boutique hotels or holiday rentals that capture the authentic residential feel.

Seattle Waterfront

Space Needle

4.5/5 (8,999 reviews)

Seattle and related destinations

Beneath rain-washed skies, Pike Place Market buzzes with fishmongers tossing salmon through the air and vendors arranging flowers in kaleidoscopic displays. The Space Needle offers obligatory views, but locals prefer watching ferries criss-cross Elliott Bay from Kerry Park's hillside perch. Duck into the original Starbucks (prepare for lines) before exploring the Seattle Aquarium's underwater world. The Gum Wall presents a strangely compelling (if slightly disgusting) public art installation near Pike Place. Catch performances at historic Moore Theatre or The Showbox, where music legends have graced the stage for decades. Seattle Centre houses museums beneath the Space Needle's watchful gaze, while cruise ships depart from Bell Street and Terminal 91 towards Alaskan adventures.
