Belltown

Belltown is the most densely populated neighborhood in Seattle, and according to locals, also the hippiest. This vibrant region was once just a deserted hill until it was artificially flattened during 1910 in the project titled Denny Regrade. Since then, it started growing unstoppingly and is now home to countless businesses, most notably restaurants, boutiques, and bars. What really sets apart Belltown from other districts in the city is that it’s the most walkable – everything you might need or desire is just a short stroll away. During the day, tourists love to explore one of its trendy boutiques, independent art galleries and something this lovely district is most famous for – restaurants of all sorts. Whether you want to enjoy local goodies, East Asian kitchen or a delicious dessert, Belltown has a unique place for you.

If you are hunting for culture spots, you shouldn’t miss the Olympic Sculpture Park, where you can enjoy both award-winning artworks and the largest green area in downtown Seattle. Other than restaurants and enjoyable walk-tours, Belltown is also popular for its vibrant nightlife. It’s home to some of the trendiest nightclubs in the city, that offers something for everyone – from the wild techno parties to the classy live jazz music. For a calmer evening, head out to the Cinerama, an innovative movie theatre famous for its chocolate-covered popcorn.
