Seattle Attractions

The U.S. city of Seattle is a world-class place, wherever you look at it from - a charming, clean, friendly, sophisticated and vibrant city, with air flights being well worth the spend. The city is considered one of the most beautiful in the country and one of the most popular places to live and work in the U. S. A. In Seattle you can indulge in various activities and entertainment options.

Get to know Seattle as you travel from the center to the Space Needle, a traditional landmark, and a must see. Take the elevator to the observation terrace and enjoy the breathtaking views. On a clear day you can see snow-capped mountains south of Rainier and the Cascade Mountains to the east. Watch the sunset over the bay and Olympic Mountain range.

Jump up to the Cinerama theater and see what is the latest happening there. The movie theater with 800 seats opened in 1963 and almost closed in the late 90s of last century, when the partner of Microsoft and billionaire Paul Allen opened his wallet to keep it running. Movies always seem larger than life screen in this theater, which is 27 meters wide and 9 meters high. It is an experience that you should plan to undertake, especially when economy is on your mind and you have booked cheap airline flights to cut the cost down.

Try a little restaurant dining in the Dahlia. Chef Tom Douglas brings the menu full of local seafood and coconut cream pies in the restaurant, which is legendary. With subdued lighting and dark red walls, this institution in Seattle is perfect for a romantic dinner. When you think of romance in Seattle, you will inevitably think of the romantic comedy "Sleepless in Seattle" starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

Why not head to The Crocodile Café in the Belltown neighborhood, for a few drinks. You will encounter an eclectic mix of hippies and punks who visit frequently this classic diner / rock club on weekends to hear live music. This is an important music scene in Seattle, which is the epicenter of the grunge movement in the early 90s of the twentieth century. The restaurant was visited by bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. This alone is a great reason to take advantage of the great cheap airfares to Seattle available.

The next day, take your morning stroll through the market Pike Place. See rows of fresh fish, bread, vegetables and fruit, but be careful because the fish traders in the market can throw you a salmon, which comes tearing around your head. If you need a refreshing morning coffee, head to the original "Starbucks".

Stroll along the shoreline to the outdoor Olympic Sculpture Park. The Art Museum in Seattle opened this broad urban oasis with panoramic views of the bay, mountains and city. In this free public park, you will find over 20 large sculptures, including "Typewriter Eraser, Scale X" by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The sculpture is taken from the collection of Paul Allen.

Take time to board the ferry to Bainbridge Island from downtown Seattle, after using the Seattle cheap flights offers. This is a 35- minute ferry service to the community on this small island, known for its vibrant arts scene and natural beauty. Stop for lunch on Main Street or go on a bicycle tour around the island, which was voted as one of the best places to live in America. Coffee lovers should stop at the Pegasus Coffee House & Gallery, where you will be served a cup of coffee, roasted on the island.
