Frequently asked questions

Can I drive to Juneau?

No — Juneau has no road connection to the rest of North America. Visitors arrive by air, cruise ship or the Alaska Marine Highway ferry.

Where should I stay in Juneau?

Downtown is walkable and close to the docks; the Mendenhall Valley is quieter and nearer the glacier and airport.

Is Juneau worth a stay outside a cruise?

Yes — staying overnight lets you visit the glacier and go whale watching after the day’s cruise passengers have left.
