Seattle’s unique melting pot offers more than just a jumping-off point of those global brands – actually, despite its big business credentials the city remains a natural home of small-scale industry. No Seattle holidays are complete without testing out its range of quirky coffee shops, bookstores, micro-breweries, markets and restaurants. This is the coffee capital of the USA so coffee snobs are sure to find plenty to like. Don't miss out on Seattle as a top American holidays destination.

Most major tourist sights are concentrated around the waterfront and piers, a bustling part of the city full of things to see and do. Check out the big attractions like the Great Ferris Wheel, that icon of the city, and the Space Needle, that dominates the skyline. Pike Place Market is famous for foodies and photo ops. This is historic haven of dining and shopping with local vendors and local charm.

A great way to approach your holidays to Seattle is to explore each of the neighbourhoods and see what they each have to offer. Cool Ballard offers bars, restaurants, shops and a slice of Nordic-infused maritime history. Belltown is great for the nightlife and Capitol Hill is the city’s LGBTQ heart with something for everyone from the parks to the museums (look for the Jimi Hendrix statue!). Head to the Sunday Market in quirky Fremont. Soak up the heritage in Seattle’s first district, aptly-named Pioneer Square. Catch a game in Safeco field in SoDo (that’s short for ‘South of Downtown’).
