Q: If you don't take an excursion how can you get to the National Historical Park? We will be there 2nd cruise ship to arrive in port - doors that mean we'll be docked far from the downtown?

A: When I was there in August 2022 they had a free shuttle to downtown Sitka. It’s a 15 minute walk from there to the historical park. There’s an Information kiosk and the people there are very helpful. They give you a free map. If you have mobility iss... ues ask the information desk about public transportation or taxi/Lyft/Ubers. It was POURING when I went there so the map disintegrated. I still walked around and stayed dry in my rain pants & jacket. Another tip: invest in rain pants instead of an umbrella they keep you drier.See More
