Hi, I'm spending one night in Anchorage before catching a cruise departing from Seward. Flight lands at ANC mid afternoon and taking a morning shuttle to Seward the next day. Plan is to check into hotel, stroll around the area a bit, grab some dinner, no other agenda. Trying to figure out if downtown or midtown is better for this.
Looking at Google Maps it looks like midtown has more food options (and possibly more window shopping?). Downtown has the museum but is otherwise less 'lively'? I'll be solo and I think both areas are ok safety wise (with the usual female solo traveling caveats)? Would appreciate thoughts on each area's vibe. Thanks
