About Sitka
Sitka sits on the western edge of Baranof Island, facing the open Pacific, and was once the capital of Russian America. Some ships anchor and tender guests ashore near Crescent Harbor, while others dock at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal, several miles north of downtown, and use a free shuttle into town. Downtown is compact, so most visitors walk to St. Michael's Cathedral, Castle Hill, and Lincoln Street. Others visit the totem trail at Sitka National Historical Park, the Alaska Raptor Center, or take a whale watching tour.
