Seattle Travel Itinerary

Seattle Travel Guide|Snap Photos at Pike Place Market, Enjoy Cherry Blossoms at the University of Washington, and Take in 360° Views from the Space Needle Seattle has always been my idea of an "American hipster paradise." It combines a laid-back market vibe with unique architectural landmarks. This itinerary focuses on three must-see attractions: the retro Pike Place Market, the atmospheric University of Washington, and the Space Needle, which offers breathtaking skyline views. It's a one-day trip that encapsulates the best of Seattle! Being there, I truly felt the artistic vibe of the city blending seamlessly with nature—perfect for eating, exploring, and taking photos! Recommended Attractions: 1. Pike Place Market|A Classic Market You Can't Miss 📍Address: 85 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101, USA ⏰Hours: Open year-round, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Your first stop in Seattle has to be Pike Place Market. It's not just a tourist hotspot but also a part of local daily life. You'll find fresh produce, seafood (highly recommend the salmon!), flower shops, and food stalls. Be sure to try the famous Pike Place seafood grill and visit the original Starbucks (the very first store is here!). Nearby, there are plenty of charming shops for handmade crafts and souvenirs, and it's a great spot for photos! 2. University of Washington|Perfect for a Stroll and Photos 📍Address: 1410 NE Campus Pkwy, Seattle, WA 98195, USA ⏰Hours: Mon-Thu 6:30 AM - 5:00 PM, Fri 7:30 AM - 12:00 PM, Sat 6:30 AM - 7:00 PM (Closed on Sundays) I absolutely love the historic architecture of the University of Washington. In spring, the cherry blossoms are breathtakingly beautiful. The campus is serene, with plenty of cozy corners to relax. Be sure to check the opening hours before visiting! There are also cafes nearby for a quick meal or coffee break. 3. Space Needle|360° Panoramic Views of Seattle 📍Address: 400 Broad St, Seattle, WA 98109, USA ⏰Hours: Mon-Thu 9:00 AM - 10:30 PM, Fri 8:30 AM - 11:00 PM, Sat 8:30 AM - 10:00 PM, Sun 9:00 AM - 10:00 PM 💸Tickets: Around USD 290 The Space Needle is one of Seattle's iconic landmarks and a must-visit for night views. I recommend going up in the evening to catch both the sunset and the city lights. From the top, you can see the entire Seattle skyline, lakes, and mountains. The rotating observation deck is a must for panoramic photos. There are also plenty of dining options at the base of the tower, making it a perfect way to end your trip! While the tickets are a bit pricey, the experience is absolutely worth it. Tips and Practical Advice: - Pike Place Market has both indoor and outdoor areas, so wear comfortable shoes for easy navigation. - The Space Needle often has long lines; booking tickets online in advance can save you a lot of time. - The University of Washington gets crowded during cherry blossom season, so arrive early or avoid peak hours. Transportation Tips: Seattle's public transportation is very convenient, with buses and light rail connecting all major areas. Taking an Uber to attractions is also affordable (especially since the market and Space Needle are close to each other). For more freedom, consider renting a bike to explore the city. Food Recommendations: At Pike Place Market, don't miss the salmon, clam chowder, and coffee from the original Starbucks. There are also many artisanal ice cream shops nearby. At the base of the Space Needle, SkyCity Restaurant offers stunning views—perfect for enjoying a cocktail while watching the sunset over the city. Destination Tips: Seattle's weather can change quickly, so bring an umbrella and a jacket. The city has widespread free WiFi, making it ideal for sharing your travel moments online.
