Food scene
If you're celebrating a special occasion, Altura is one of Seattle's fanciest and highest-reviewed restaurants! To watch the cooks in action, request a bar seat. We love the northern Italian cuisine, all the small plates, and if you have extra budget, definitely go for the option with truffles!

Sightseeing
Pike Place Market is filled with a smorgasbord of sights, sounds, food and everything in between. It's the quintessential tourist destination but it's a must see. You'll see produce sellers, craft artisans, street performers, fish mongers and many delicious restaurants. Many small speciality shops like Beecher's cheese, Piroshky Piroshky, Daily Donuts, Pike Place Chowder, and Mee Sum Pastry (try the Bao). If you go to Pike's towards the end of the day, storefront owners are more likely to offer produce and flowers at a discount.

A must for families, this Fremont (pronounced 'free-mont') landmark is a fun stop on the way to Theo's Chocolate, the Ballard Locks, or any of the other many attractions of Fremont, Seattle's quirkiest neighborhood. Lots of shopping and restaurants in this adorable area. Also the best Saturday market in town. The canal that boats have to go through to get to the locks and out to Puget sound runs along this neighborhood so great boat watching on sunny days.

Recently renovated for unobstructed 360 degree views of the city. built for the World Fair in 1962, this 605 foot (185 metre) tall structure is iconic to the Seattle skyline and a fun thing to explore. I will say as a local that the area is probably a lot bigger than you might expect. The Space Needle is surrounded with multiple parks and museums, theaters, exhibits, and seasonal events such as concerts. Next door is the Museum of Pop Culture in a Frank Gehry-designed building, and the Chihuly Garden and Glass.
