Seattle offers a spectacular array of attractions and tourist sites. Before or after your cruise from the Port of Seattle, make sure to explore some of what this incredible Pacific Northwest city has to offer!
🐟 Pike Place Market
Down by the waterfront, Pike Place Market is one of Seattle's most beloved institutions. Pick up fresh local produce, browse locally made arts and crafts, antiques, and curiosities, or simply wander through the famous flower market. With plenty of restaurants and coffee shops — including the original Starbucks — it's a great place to spend a relaxed morning soaking in authentic Seattle culture.
🚀 The Space Needle
Seattle's most iconic landmark, the Space Needle has been a recognisable feature of the city's skyline since it was erected in 1962 for the World's Fair. Towering 605 feet above the city, the observation deck at 520 feet offers sweeping views of Seattle's best features and the nearby Olympic Mountains.
🌲 Discovery Park
An immense 500-acre expanse of hiking trails, beaches, meadows, gardens, and dunes — Discovery Park is Seattle's largest green space and a true natural escape in the city.
🏔️ North Beach Trail
Leads directly to the West Point Lighthouse — one of the park's most impressive and photogenic features.
⛰️ South Beach Trail
Follow the trail to reveal stunning views of Mount Rainier and the Seattle skyline — an unforgettable panorama.
🎨 Seattle Art Museum
The Seattle Art Museum is a must-visit for its fabulous displays and rotating art exhibitions. Don't miss the 9-acre Olympic Sculpture Park within its premises — featuring works by some of the world's most renowned sculptors, set against the stunning backdrop of the Olympic Mountains and Elliott Bay. A remarkable experience even on its own.
🪵 Pioneer Square
One of the earliest settlements in the Pacific Northwest, Pioneer Square retains its Old West look and feel to this day. Charming cobblestone streets lead to galleries, shops, and restaurants tucked into beautiful historic buildings.
🗿 Tlingit Totem Pole
A fascinating piece of history — the totem pole was originally taken from the Tlingit people in the late 19th century, but has since been officially paid for by the city.
🕳️ Underground Tour
The famous Seattle Underground Tour departs from Pioneer Square — explore the original street level of the city buried beneath the current one after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889.
