Juneau

Juneau · United States · 58.30, -134.41

Alaska's capital, surrounded by mountains and sea and unconnected to the outside world by road. A signature Alaska cruise port, its biggest attraction is the accessible Mendenhall Glacier. Visitors can encounter humpback whales on whale-watching tours, ride a tram up Mount Roberts, and explore the historic downtown. The town combines rich nature with traces of its pioneering era.
