Anchorage vs Seward

[midwife56]

If you had an extra day, would you rather spend it in Anchorage or Seward and why??

Generally speaking, Seward.

 

Why: Anchorage resembles the lower 48 too much. Seward is more "Alaska". That's a gross generalization, though.

Seward....small friendly town that's easy to get around with beautiful scenery...go on a wildlife cruise,Sealife center,kayaking,Exit Glacier,fishing,dogsled ride,walk along the shore just to name a few things.... Anchorage is just another big city with traffic,stoplights,shopping malls ect.

In Anchorage- Mall, Costco, Walmart,...etc. Not to say you can't

enjoy Anchorage - we had a great time on the Tony Knowles Trail.

Seward is more small town Alaska though.

 

Just my .02

 

Either way - enjoy!

I too would say Seward, but not if you don't have enough time for it??? I wouldn't consider it as a day trip, an overnight is necessary in my opinion. Otherwise Anchorage has plenty of hidden gems and outskirts excellent opportunities.
