Seattle-Something for Every Traveler

Add some Seattle glitz in your vacation time! Offering you finest arts, excellent dining, sizzling entertainment, and holiday fun aplenty, the destination is a must visit. Seattle is all set to dazzle your family with unforgettable holidays.

Seattle is a sea port city in the world-renowned state of Washington. Regional cuisine, posh bars, historical structures, day spas and golf courses are the fascinating elements that make your tour to Seattle worth. The city is always bustling with something; tours, festival, sightseeing or simply shopping.

If you are an ‘Explorer’

Situated at the Seattle Center, the Space Needle is about a mile away from the towering buildings of the city center which makes its height appear deceiving. It boasts of being the 6th tallest building in Seattle. The vertical icon is glitzy and offers spectacular views of the city atop. It seems like a spaceship on stilts, rising over Seattle Center. It also serves as a cultural complex where you could explore any hotspot of your choice like Chihuly Glass Display, Pacific Science Center, Food Court and even Theaters.

If you are an ‘Inquisitive’

Explore The Museum of Flight that is sprawled in a 12-acres area and encompasses more than 85 historic air, exhibits, spacecraft, flight simulators and educational activities. Built in 1909, it is situated on Boeing Field, near to south of downtown Seattle. Discover the Great Gallery where you will come across 30 incredible aircrafts overhead in a glass building. Also look around the first jet Air Forces One, the SPACE, Moon rocks and an Apollo space capsule. Recognized as an important educational air and space museum in the world, the Museum of Flight has something to offer every visitor.

If you are a ‘Rider’

Do you wish to enjoy a Ferry ride? If yes, the destination will not disappoint you either. Washington Ferry Rides serve as important parts of the state’s transportation. These ferries shuttle all around Puget Sound. Get in the ferry on the down Seattle waterfront and leave the ferry at Bainbridge and enter the small town of Winslow. Here you can explore its cafes, shops and restaurants. A ferry ride rewards you with the finest views of the city skyline with the ocean breeze that will leave you refreshed. 


If you are a ‘Shopaholic’

Serving as the most colorful shopping site in the area, the Pike Place Market is a must visit for shopping lovers. An 80-year old neon clock serves as a lighthouse to this bustling market, spread in 9 acres populist market. It holds rich history in the trade of farm and fish. It serves as a commercial site too where you can get the opportunity to explore museums, restaurants, crafts, boutiques and obviously shopping. The market features “flying fish”, when fish sellers throw cuts of fish to each other which leaves beholders in awe. Lined with vendors, the cobblestone street is a place where you can find handmade arts and crafts. A stunning array of vibrant fresh flowers and images of landscapes can be seen winding through the market.
