📍Anchorage
One of my favorite places in Alaska. Whether you're visiting in the summer or winter, the mountain views are unforgettable. I especially loved taking the tram to the top—it was one of the highlights of my trip.

One of the best places to learn about Alaska's Native cultures and history. I really enjoyed seeing the traditional villages and exhibits it gave me a much deeper appreciation for Alaska beyond its scenery.

If you only have time for one museum in Anchorage, I'd choose this one. It combines Alaska's history, art, science, and culture in a way that's interesting even if you're not usually a museum person.
