Downtown Anchorage is small, easy to get around, and a good starting point for just about anything you’re planning in the city. You’ll find coffee shops, local restaurants, souvenir stores, and a handful of bars. If you’re gearing up for an adventure, there are outfitters and bike rentals nearby, too. Plus, it’s home to the Anchorage Museum, the start of the Coastal Trail, and Ship Creek, where you can fish for salmon or just watch the action.

Around an hour outside Málaga, this cliffside path takes you through narrow walkways, deep gorges, and a high suspension bridge at the end. It’s about 8 km one-way and takes a few hours, depending on your pace. It used to be known as dangerous, but it’s now rebuilt and safe, with handrails and a clear path the whole way. You’ll need to book ahead, and there’s a shuttle at the end that takes you back to where you started. The views are what people come for — steep rock faces, bright blue water, and huge open skies.

In the splendid surroundings of Säfsen, you can embark on short and easy family outings, as well as more demanding long hikes. The journey to the many delightful nature spots is just as rewarding as the destinations themselves. For those seeking a bit more of a challenge, there's also organized wilderness hiking in hilly terrain. For these adventures, sturdy rubber boots are essential, as the trail lacks defined paths. Hiking maps are available for collection at the reception in Hyttan.
