Anchorage is a miracle of a city that presents a more North European feel than American due to the extreme daylight hours. From over 19 hours of daylight each day in summer to over 18 hours of night time during winter, you will get lost in this Northern gem. This is a city for more “metropolised” than the rest of Alaska, but there is no denying the great selection of restaurants and clubs while the city is surrounded by raw wilderness. The main tourist centre in the city is the Alaska Native Heritage Centre. This museum gives the visitor more than a bunch of artefacts in some glass cases. You can also do native dances and activities and even go for a walk around the lakes that also display various aspects of Native American life. There are plenty of wildlife to see in the region and the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a nice visit. Here orphaned, injured or sick animals are given refuge and a safe place to live. Outdoor lovers will be in heaven here as there are plenty of top class Skiing and Boarding resorts as well as some of the best bike trails you will find anywhere in the world.
