University St Sta Acrd, Downtown (Central Business District)

Downtown Seattle is always jumping no matter what the time of day with so much activity always taking place it’s hard to know what to do once you get there. If you’re an Art lover than Seattle Art Museum with its permanent and traveling exhibits is the way to go, recently expanding SAM had floors of art to keep one busy. A day can easily be spent within its walls with nourishment coming from its in-house restaurant Taste. If visual art isn’t your scene than I recommended you just cross Second Avenue and head into Benaroya Hall where you can take in any number of shows from Seattle Arts & Lecture presentations, to National Geography Live speakers, or the famous Seattle Symphony which calls the walls of Benaroya Hall home.

Dining options are numerous with Purple Café & Wine Bar on Fourth Avenue, Wild Ginger on the Third and Triple Door just halfway down the block where good food and entertainment is happening seven days a week. But no visit is complete of downtown Seattle without stopping by Pike Place Market – world famous for fish throwing and ambiance, Pikes Place is an adventure unto itself.
