Day 1
Kerry Park
Capture Seattle's postcard-perfect skyline. The city's most famous viewpoint frames the Space Needle, Puget Sound, and distant Mount Rainier in one shot — a scene every photographer dreams of.
- ●
Day 1
Amazon Spheres
A pilgrimage to the tech giant's urban forest. We pass Seattle's most modern landmark — Amazon's HQ. The three giant glass domes form an indoor rainforest that redefines the future of work. (The interior is an employee workspace; we'll stop at the best exterior photo spot.)
- ●
Day 1
Pike Place Market
Step into one of America's oldest public markets. Visit the very first Starbucks (founded 1971), enjoy a free lunch break with the famous clam chowder, and don't miss the world-famous Gum Wall nearby.

Day 1
Space Needle & Chihuly Garden
[Optional add-on] Choose between the city's most iconic landmark and a world-class glass art experience: ascend the 360° observation deck above Puget Sound, or step into Dale Chihuly's dreamlike world of color and light.

Day 1
University of Washington
Wander through what's often called America's most beautiful campus. Step inside the Suzzallo Library — its Hogwarts-like Gothic reading room is one of the country's most magical academic spaces.

Travel Notes
- Dress in layers — Seattle weather changes quickly. Bring a windproof or water-resistant jacket and comfortable walking shoes.
- Ticket booking service: Space Needle and Chihuly often have long on-site queues. Let us know in advance and we'll pre-book your tickets so you can save the time for the scenery.
- Campus visit flexibility: If the Suzzallo Library is closed for university events, exams, or holidays, your guide will instead lead a deeper walk through the campus's other Gothic highlights.
