5/5 - Excellent

Anchorage is a good base from which to explore this part of Alaska being central to the main national parks with an international airport. It’s easy to get around, people are freindly and has a relaxed vibe.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Tourist office not very helpful! City easy to navigate.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Very friendly people. Try the dive bar Darwin’s Theory on G Street. Locals and tourists around the bar. Large measures on spirits too. Worth looking in Big Rays on West & 4th Avenue. Better than the tourist shops for jeans, socks, T-shirts etc.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Interesting city in a beautiful location. I’m only staying at the start of a cruise tour, but it’s definitely been worth visiting for a couple of days beforehand.
