Free Shipping on Orders over $50Juneau, Alaska’s beautiful capital city, has a concentrated downtown core that is easily accessible by foot.

Within the four block downtown core, attractions include the state capitol building, the Alaska State Museum, the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, the Governor’s House, several hotels and B&Bs, restaurants, a shopping district, and a movie theater.

The busier sections of the downtown streets are manned in summer by crossing guards to assist walkers with safe crossings while keeping the traffic flowing.

The downtown docks are adjacent to the historic district, providing easy access for strolling the waterfront.

Reminders of Juneau’s rich gold rush heritage are scattered throughout downtown, and the turn-of-the-century architecture of the downtown historic district’s buildings and residences is interesting and fun to explore.

And to top it all off, the scenic beauty of the surrounding mountains and water is spectacular.

So, for your next visit to Juneau, be sure to pack your walking shoes, because this is one walking opportunity you won’t want to miss.
