I agree with folks - - walk! When you walk from the ship dock "downtown" you can get the feel of beautiful Sitka. It is only about a 10-15 walk and you can relax and take your time and get distracted with looking at other things. The Russian Bishop's house is right along the way and don't miss the Sitka Rose soap shop next to it. Beautiful locally made soap that are a wonderful treat to take home with you! Yes - - walk, relax, breathe the beautiful clean air. And even if it is raining - - -that feels beautiful too! Why get stuck in a tour bus with steamy windows and other people so close? That is not my idea of seeing and feeling a place! One exception . . .. if you come in on a ship and you dock out near the ferry terminal on Halibut Point Road - - then you will need to take the bus into town and then walk from there. Sitka now has two deep water ship cruise docks - one right in town and the other one "out the road" near the Ferry terminal. Prepare to enjoy yourself, breathe clean air, see this beautiful place and please take time to get away from the crowds of fellow crusie shipmates and get out from town a little ways and see the trees, deep moss and old, old trees. There are many trails to hike too, bikes to rent and kayaks to paddle!
