Ketchikan, the 'Salmon Capital of the World,' is a colorful boardwalk town built on stilts over the water at the southern gateway to Alaska. It has the largest collection of standing totem poles anywhere, a famous historic district along Creek Street, and easy access to the misty fjords and rainforest all around it. Compact and walkable, it's an easy port to enjoy on foot.
Ketchikan is the wettest city in Alaska — pack a rain jacket rather than an umbrella (awkward around floatplanes and boardwalks). The totems and Creek Street make an easy free walk if you'd rather skip a paid tour.
