FAQs about Anchorage Tours
What is the best time of year to visit Anchorage for mild weather and outdoor activities?
The best time to visit Anchorage for mild weather and outdoor activities is mid-June to early September. During this period, temperatures range from 50–70°F (10–21°C), rainfall is moderate, and daylight lasts up to 19 hours in summer. This season allows for hiking, wildlife viewing, and festivals like the Fur Rendezvous. Avoid August rains by planning excursions early in the window.
How do I get from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) to downtown Anchorage?
From Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), take the People Mover Bus Route 40 (Anchorage Transit), which runs regularly to downtown (approx. 20 minutes, $2.50). Alternatively, taxis and rideshares like Uber are readily available outside the terminal, with fares around $15–$20. Rental car counters are located in the airport’s lower level.
Is a car necessary to explore Anchorage and nearby attractions?
A car is highly recommended to fully explore Anchorage and nearby areas.

Are there any local passes or discount cards for tourists visiting Anchorage museums and attractions?
Anchorage does not have a city-wide tourist pass, but individual savings are available. The Alaska Tourism Pass offers discounted entry to select activities like flightseeing and rafting.
