Neighborhood

Like most downtowns, you'll find walkable streets, terrific shops and restaurants, businesses housed in skyscrapers, and a variety museums and theaters. Unlike most downtowns, you'll also discover the occasional Iditarod, the dancing glow of the northern lights, and perhaps a moose lounging in the town square. Because this is Downtown Anchorage, and things are just a little bit different here.

As the city's central business district, Downtown Anchorage is home to some of the tallest buildings in the state -- the Atwood Building, a square structure of glass, is 20 stories tall. The tallest building in Alaska is the Conoco-Phillips Building, a 22-story structure that features an atrium with a food court and fountain that is open to the public.
