Downtown is Seattle’s business center since the 1850s. But though it’s history spans over almost two centuries, it’s now recognizable for its modern skyscrapers that are dotted across the whole area. It’s also home to one of the largest Ferris wheels in the US. It’s called The Seattle Great Wheel and features forty two gondolas that offer some of the best views of the city. Its harbor provides lovely excursions through the Eliot Bay, while the Olympic Sculpture Park combines typical public park experience with unusual sculptures and artworks. For more appreciation of the arts, a must-stop is the Seattle Art Museum. Located on 1st Avenue, it spreads through several floors and exhibits both local creations and artwork from around the globe.

If you want to have an authentic shopping experience, head out to the Pike Place Market, one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the US. There you can have a meal, and shop literally everything, from fresh food, over clothes to unique items such as magicians’ equipment. For more high-end shopping, try out the Westlake Center and Pacific Place. Naturally, there’s also a lot to do in the evening – from clubbing, over live music to burlesque and Broadway shows.
