Seattle's icons
Visit the MoPOP (Museum of Pop Culture), go up to the Space Needle, and do sightseeing in the city. Go back to Pike Place Market, to feel the vibrant atmosphere by day and stop by Kerry Park for one final phenomenal view.
Visit the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)
The Museum of Pop Culture is as interesting on the outside as on the inside. The building, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, is an architectural masterpiece. Its colourful design represents music and movement. The museum focuses on influential music artists and genres, displays movie props and costumes, and highlights the evolution of video games.
Space Needle & Olympic Sculpture Park
Next to the MoPOP is the iconic Space Needle, making this a logical next stop. The Space Needle, characterising the Seattle skyline, is about 180 metres high and offers a panoramic view of the city. Next, make your way to Olympic Sculpture Park, a bit further down the road. Olympic Sculpture Park is a part of the Seattle Art Museum and a lovely place to take a stroll and view sculpture art.
Pike Place Market by day
Let's explore the vibrant Pike Place Market by day. With various food vendors, bakeries, and restaurants, it's the place for foodies. You can sample local specialities like clam chowder, smoked salmon, and fresh pastries. And if you don't mind standing in line, drink a coffee at the first-ever Starbucks store.
Sightseeing in the city
Discover more of the city, walking past Pioneer Square and the Amazon Spheres, taking in the relaxed vibe. For being a big city, Seattle sure doesn't feel that way.
