[2025 Skagway Attraction] Travel Guide for Skagway (Updated Jul)

Visiting Skagway is like going back in time to the gold-rush era. Not far from the cruise ship terminal is Broad Street, where there are restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, and plenty of gem shops. The small town is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and offers excursions on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad and gold-panning experiences. We didn’t have time to do a full excursion but strolled around this quaint gold-rush town, picked up some souvenirs, and grabbed some food from local food trucks. #usatravel #alaska #gold #mining

Travel to Alaska by cruise ship. Skagway is another city that you must stop by to ride the White Pass train. It is considered a signature of this place. #TravelAbroad

#celebratewithtrip With breathtaking view ,great food, and plenty of exciting things to do, Skagway is one of the most popular places to visit in all of Alaska. Although some people deride Skagway as “too touristy”considering the downtown area is lined with gift shop, it is one of my favorite places in all of Alaska. Although it’s true that the crowds can be a bit maddening during the day when there are multiple ships in port, there’s something truly special about evenings when the streets are empty and the mountains are illuminated by the midnight sun. Skagway should absolutely be on your list of places to visit in Alaska. #fallingforfall #tripblazers

The town of Skagway in Alaska holds many spooky ghost stories about some personalities during the gold rush era that are still haunting the town, especially the Red Onion Saloon. They offer a tour of the old brothel where they showcase the stuff of the girls who used to work there . Looking at those antics gives you the chills, yet, brings out your curiosity how life was during the old days when they all try to survive while having hopes of a better life. #spooktaculartrip

Skagui is a small town that relies entirely on cruise passengers. Just a few days ago, the last cruise ship had left here. The next batch of Alaska cruises will have to wait until May next year. Since then, it has entered the winter, and with it, almost all the shops have gone out of business. Just a few days, the shop is so thorough and rapid, and we were not expecting it. Institutions that organize various day trips have also ceased to operate. We circled the street, and many of the shops doors read See you next year. On the streets of the entire small town, visitors are stunned, and even the visitor center and supermarkets are closed at 4 pm. Here, we wait for the ferry to return to Juneau (not a cruise ship, but a ferry that the locals take). Because the ferry schedule is not every day. So we have reserved two days here. I just didn't expect it to be so quiet, it was so quiet. No plan, no haste, slow down, just enjoy the passage of time. It is undeniable that this palm-sized city is still very beautiful. It is known as the Garden City of Alaska. Finally have time, slowly go everywhere, do not need to drive, use your feet to measure Alaska. We went to a variety of different trails, both difficult and simple, with glaciers and seas. Wherever we go, there is only us between heaven and earth.
