Juneau, Alaska

Juneau is many things: a mountain town, a coastal community and the most scenic capital city in the U.S.A natural wonder, wildlife hotspot and cultural jewel, Juneau is rich in history, art, music and Native heritage. It’s an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, a shopper’s trove and a food lover’s dream - not just the state capital, but the beating heart of Southeast Alaska.

Klondike-era hotels and saloons, “onion-dome” churches, colorful Victorian homes… Juneau, itself is like one big museum, especially the downtown historic district. 

For a glimpse into Juneau’s Gold Rush past, visit the remains of three different mining complexes: the A-J Mine, the Last Chance Mining Museum the historic Treadwell Mine.

And of course, Juneau houses some of Alaska’s top museums, including the Juneau-Douglas City Museum; the Walter Soboleff Building, with Alaska’s largest installation of Southeast Alaska Native art; and the new Alaska State Museum, a comprehensive collection of art, artifacts, books and film
