Set off on a journey of discovery of Alaska on your way to the ideal city of arrival, for those who do not yet know the American state: Anchorage. Anchorage is a small city located south of central Alaska, which is the largest state of all the United States. If Alaska has no borders with any other American state, it can count on its four maritime complexes (Gulf of Alaska, Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea) to attract visitors and especially rafting enthusiasts. If Alaska has for reputation to post rather cool temperatures, because of its subarctic climate, the city of Anchorage it, is rather preserved since in summer the temperatures vary from 13 °C to 26 °C. Anchorage can count on its wild nature, its many green spaces and its historic center to completely change the scenery of its visitors. A cultural city, it is home to numerous museums such as the Museum of Art and History or the Alaska Native Heritage Center presenting Tlingit, Aleut and Eskimo Aboriginal cultures.

The city also has several unmissable monuments such as the statue of President Eisenhower, who formalized the creation of the State of Alaska during his term. Located in height, the site also allows to have a superb panorama on the port of Anchorage. Still in the city is the Catholic Church of St. Nicholas of Myra Byzantine built in 1958. Anchorage is also the starting point for many tours and excursions to glaciers, fjords, mountains and surrounding valleys.
