Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From most Canadian cities, Anchorage takes a couple of connections, commonly routing through Vancouver, Seattle, or another western hub before the flight north into Alaska. Since it's a US destination, you'll clear American customs along the way, often when you first enter the United States.
What to see and do
- Cycling the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail
- Watching wildlife at the Alaska Zoo or Potter Marsh
- Taking a day trip to Portage Glacier
- Riding the Alaska Railroad toward the mountains
Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken. Public transit (the People Mover bus) is limited and the sights are far apart, so renting a car is genuinely the practical choice here, though many agencies add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s; if you'd rather not drive, the scenic Alaska Railroad and organized day tours are great car-free ways to reach the highlights, and Uber covers the city itself. Carry layers and be bear-aware on the trails.
