Directory
Overview: Widely regarded as Alaska's most beautiful seaside town, Sitka sits on the wild Baranof Island at the foot of the Mount Edgecumbe volcano, its harbour dotted with islets and surrounded by forests. Its position on the Inside Passage means it is a popular destination for cruise ships, offering a combination of Tlingit culture, Russian history and a wide variety of Alaskan wildlife. Museums, historical parks and old churches are reminders of Sitka's past, while its natural heritage can be enjoyed on mountain trails, on the surrounding calm waters in a boat or kayak, and in festivals like the annual Whale Festival in November.
