Seattle Travel Guide- an Overview of Seattle

Seattle, being the huge city that it is, a ‘Seattle travel guide’ can be very helpful for a visitor to the ‘The rainy city’ or ‘the emerald city’. This Seattle travel guide assumes you’ve already put your foot on the city (probably by plane that landed on to the Seattle-Tacoma international airport).

First things first! You should perhaps have a reservation in a hotel already and if you haven’t this Seattle travel guide has a couple of suggestions: economy-Hotel Seattle (tel-1-877-846-7835), Seattle green tortoise hotel (tel-1-888-424-6783), luxury- hotel Monaco Seattle (tel-1800-945-2240). A Seattle travel guide should mention few of the tours around, not for one to stop referring to the Seattle travel guide but to enhance the beauty of the travel. Some tours, worth a take are mentioned below-
•Show me Seattle- a mini-bus tour.
•Seattle underground tour- A trip through the undergrounds of Pioneer square.
•Beeline tours.
•Seattle tours- through the major attractions of Seattle.
•Argosy cruises- this one includes a harbor and two lake-cruises.

The major attractions that have made a significant presence in any Seattle travel guide are-
•The space needle. (A Seattle travel is incomplete without a visit to this place.)
•The Seattle art museum.
•The Henry art gallery.
•Museum of flight.
•Science Fiction museum.
•Fyre museum
•Experience music project or most commonly known as EMP.
•Smith tower.
•Pike Place market.
•Columbia center.
•Monorail.
•Seattle aquarium.
•UW waterfront activities arena or center.
•Hiram M.Chittenden locks.
•Woodland park zoo.

The nature’s beauty found in the greenery around is a refresher and so is the well maintained parks like-
•Carkeek park- A beach park.
•Green Lake.
•Kubota garden.
•Waterfronts
•Olympic Sculpture Park.
•Discovery park
•Golden Gardens Park. (The bonfire here is very popular!)

Some popular cultural events that make for an amazing Seattle travel include-
•Seafair - Sea lovers, watch out!
•Bumbershoot- A music and dance fest.
•Hempfest- The largest marijuana rally you’ve ever seen. Usually happens during mid-august.
•Bite of Seattle- held during late July in the Seattle center.
•Northwest folklife festival- It’s free!!

The aspects covered so far in the Seattle travel guide are more related to amusement and for a fun-filled holiday in Seattle. However, a safe Seattle travel is the most important aspect and that can be possible only with responsible behavior from the tourists. The lines of the law of Seattle should never be crosses at any point of the Seattle travel. The nightlife here is one of the best of its kind in the world; however no compromise should be done on safety. Personal care and care of your belongings can help in making Seattle city a safer place. The area code for city of Seattle happens to be 206. Free Wi-Fi access is available in the Seattle public libraries and in many cafes of Seattle. Contacts of few hospitals can be helpful during Seattle travel.
•Harborview medical center- 1-206-744-3000.
•UW medical center-1-206-598-3300.
•‘911’ is the code for emergency anywhere in the U.S.

Have a smooth and safe Seattle travel!
