HOW TO
GET
THERE?
I recommend two ways to get there from Dąbrowa Górnicza
 1st, the fastest: travel to Katowice Airport (KTW) and fly from
there to Seattle (SEA). The estimated time: 19h 5 min (includes
city transfers and airport check-in time)
 2nd, recommended: travel to Kraków Airport (KRK) and fly to
Seattle (SEA). The estimated time: 19h 5 min (includes city
transfers and airport check-in time)

WHAT TO DO IN
SEATTLE?
WSB
 With everything from unrivaled natural
beauty and world-class attractions to
major sports teams, a thriving arts and
culture scene, and beyond, there’s
always something to do in Seattle.
 In the next slide I've written
my subjective list of the things that are a
"must see" when being in Seattle.

8.
Space Needle
 Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the 605-foot-tall Space Needle quickly became an icon of
the city that today is recognized far and wide. On the observation level, which you can
reach via a 43-second elevator ride, see the doodle-on-a-napkin concept that led to the
Space Needle design. Views from the top feature Elliott Bay, the Cascade Mountains,
and even Mount Rainier.

9.
Seattle Center Monorail
 Another World’s Fair relic, the Seattle Center Monorail links Seattle Center—home of
the Space Needle and several other notable attractions—to downtown’s Westlake
Center along an approximately one-mile route. The designated historic landmark can
reach a top speed of 45 miles per hour and weaves between skyscrapers above the city
streets.

10.
Pacific Science Center
 This family-friendly museum is where science lessons come to life. At Pacific Science
Center, explore galaxies near and far in the planetarium, get up close and personal with
colorful creatures in the Tropical Butterfly House, maneuver a two-ton granite ball, find
out what it means if you can roll your tongue, and much more.
WSB

11.
Pacific Northwest Ballet
 Pacific Northwest Ballet performs a variety of classical and modern shows in Seattle
Center’s beautiful McCaw Hall. Under the creative direction of renowned dancer Peter
Boal, Pacific Northwest Ballet offers transformative performances that are sure to
impress. Don’t miss its recently revamped version of The Nutcracker, an annual holiday
tradition.

12.
Seattle Aquarium
 Down at the Seattle Aquarium on the waterfront’s Pier 59, learn all about salmon, meet
a few adorable sea otters, and greet the various sea creatures of the Pacific Ocean,
from puffers to giant clams. Watch scuba divers feed the fish, gawk at sharks swimming
overhead in the underwater dome, and even touch a sea anemone.
WSB

13.
Washington State Ferries
 A ride across Puget Sound aboard one of 22 Washington State Ferries vessels is a
quintessential Pacific Northwest experience. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the bow
of the boat as you cruise to the nearby communities of Bainbridge Island or Bremerton.
This is one of those cases where the journey is as much fun as the destination.
WSB

14.
Museum of Flight
 The Museum of Flight is one of the largest air and space collections in the country, with
an overwhelming number of things to see—like a Boeing lunar rover and an Air Force
One from the Eisenhower era—and do, including NASA space shuttle trainer tours and
flight simulators
WSB

15.
Kerry Park
This picturesque Queen Anne spot looks down at the Seattle skyline from the north. It’s
the ideal place to get the quintessential view of the city, featuring the Space Needle, Elliott
Bay, downtown skyscrapers, and (on clear days) Mount Rainier.

SCENIC HIKES WORTH
EXPLORING
To visit Seattle and not feel the pull of the mountains? Impossible!
Luckily, trails abound and you don’t even have to leave city limits to enjoy
that hiking high. A variety of routes appeal to all ages and fitness levels,
but a couple of things are constant: fresh air and stunning panoramas.

the shores of Puget Sound in the

waterfall in the northwest United

WSB

20.
Poo Poo Point
Hike a short but steep trail with many stone steps. Pause at a viewpoint
offering a fine view of Mount Rainier, then continue on to Poo Poo Point
itself, only 1.9 miles from the trailhead. Enjoy views to the northwest, and
perhaps watch paragliders sailing off into the sky.
