Seattle Travel Guide

Things to do in Seattle

Seattle''s skyline, with the prominent Space Needle, is one of America''s most recognisable cityscapes which hints at the eclectic attractions below. The attractions in Seattle both celebrate and preserve various roles in history, alternating from aviation and shipbuilding industries, music epicentre and Native American and contemporary art centre. Other attractions just let visitors enjoy the moment, including three sports stadiums, an aquarium, zoo, music laboratory and festive city districts. Sightseeing Seattle''s watery attributes can be enjoyed criss-crossing Puget Sound in state ferries (recently enjoying a spotlight from Grey''s Anatomy) or from the lively waterfront shopping area Pikes Place Market. Among the other highlights are especially great museums showcasing variously the history of flight, contemporary art, an ode to Rock ''n Roll at the Experience the Music Project''s architectural wonder, and of course, the views from the Space Needle. Yet perhaps the best thing to do is follow the locals out of the city and into the surrounding nature.
