It’s one of Seattle’s most iconic places to visit. Inside, though, there’s a maze of fresh produce, fish, cured meats, international stores, souvenir shops, and you can also check out the infamous Gum Wall. You could also head to the Original Starbucks outside the market.

Once you’re back from your ferry ride, you can make your way to Pioneer Square. This is the most historic area of Seattle, and many of the attractions here revolve around the city’s strange history.
There are tons of cool things to see and explore in Pioneer Square, but since you’re short on time, we’ll just hit the highlights for now.
• Take the Underground Tour: The Great Seattle Fire happened in 1889 and destroyed half the city. When the city was reconstructed, they built it two stories above the original foundation. The old structures of abandoned shops and buildings remain under the city, and you can explore them on a guided Underground Tour.
• Visit an Art Gallery: Pioneer Square is home to 50 art galleries, which represent a variety of eras, art forms, and artists from Seattle and all over the world. Every first Thursday of the month, there’s an Art Walk that includes free parking and admission into the local Pioneer Square galleries. Many cities do some form of an art walk, but Seattle’s was the original and it continues to be a local favorite activity.
• Grab a Drink at Seattle’s Oldest Pub: The Central Saloon is Seattle’s oldest pub, built in 1892, and is a historic institution in Pioneer Square and Seattle at large. During the Gold Rush, miners used to kick back here and drink after a long day of work. Today, the pub hosts tons of local live bands and musical artists, and is an important hub for the city’s music scene.

Sightseeing
Located right next to Pike Place Market is the Seattle Waterfront, home to the Seattle Great Wheel (the Ferris wheel), the Seattle Aquarium, and Myrtle Edwards Park, which offers stunning views of the city. The area is also full of seafood restaurants and shops.
While at the Waterfront, you can also hop on a short ferry ride to experience Seattle from the water. We recommend a quick jaunt on the water taxi to West Seattle, which lasts 10-15 minutes and costs $4.75 each way. On a clear day, you’ll get stunning views of the Seattle skyline and catch some fresh air on the water.

After the Waterfront, head to the Seattle Center area, which is home to some of the cultural highlights of Seattle, including the Space Needle. While this area might seem touristy, it’s definitely one of the highlights of the city and is worth a visit, if not just to admire the modern architecture and see some of the really unique museums.

A large exhibition dedicated to the colorful glass blowing works of Dale Chihuly. Here, you can walk through a literal glass garden full of colorful domes, flowers, and strangely-shaped glass works, all handmade by the artist. If you’ve never seen a glass art exhibit, I highly recommend it!

One of the best viewpoints in the city of Seattle (and the best way to round out Day 1 of your Seattle itinerary) is at Kerry Park, located in the neighborhood of Queen Anne atop a hill.
You’ll definitely get some exercise making the 30-minute trek up here from the Seattle Center area – but the spectacular skyline and Puget Sound views are absolutely worth it. We recommend heading to Kerry Park towards the end of the day, when the sun is low over the water, or at sunset.
