Seattle is like several cities in one, such is the diversity embedded into the bustling hub of art galleries, museums and impressive architecture. Copious attractions drench Seattle in a sea of history, culture and vitality, and Pike Place Market is the pinnacle of entertainment and interest. The market is a mecca of fresh food, where the local residents congregate to peruse the stalls and haggle for a bargain. The market steals the attention in regards to food, but there are numerous fine restaurants lining the centre, serving delicious seafood fresh from the waters. The marketplace has thrust Seattle into major prominence around North America, though there are many more facets to the unique metropolis. Technology giants, Microsoft and Amazon, were born in the great city, inevitably creating a thriving business and entrepreneurial scene that is growing at an exponential rate. The myriad of offices and business complexes paint Seattle as a picture of logic and regiment, but that would do a disservice to the unassuming art scene which has sparked a fresh energy into the central areas. Chihuly Garden and Glass is a particular highlight, though just to walk around Seattle provides enough aesthetic stimulation, especially the Space Needle which has become the city’s most iconic landmark.
Most locals choose to travel around Seattle by car, hence the superb road connections out and around the city. For anyone needing public transport, an efficient metro system is available around the entirety of the districts.
A wave of outdoor activities and endless cycle routes make Victoria one of the best cities to traverse on two wheels; a gorgeous park laying adjacent to the colourful seafront is a mecca of good health and good feeling, especially in the summer when the area is drenched in young people, couples and families enjoying the glorious sunshine. The wealth of verdant foliage and picturesque scenery promote a vibrant energy throughout the city, and to continue in the world of wonderful aesthetics, the charming downtown area is emblazoned with stunning architecture, most noticeably the heritage buildings which engulf the skyline. Some of the landmarks are designed purely to admire outwardly, but other cultural edifices welcome visitors to explore the walls and structures from within; The Royal British Columbia Museum showcases the history associated with the region, and for something a little off the beaten track, Victoria Bug Zoo and Victoria Butterfly Gardens are the perfect settings for a day out with the family. After a day of sightseeing or embarking on adventures, head to one of the fine restaurants for some classic Canadian cuisine.
For public transport, there is a reliable bus service in operation around the city, however, the more active may choose to travel by foot or bicycle around the stunning surroundings.
