Downtown Anchorage

Considered the central business district of Anchorage, Downtown has many office buildings, cultural points of interest, shopping areas, as well as dining and nightlife attractions.

The actual original townsite was a tent city located off the banks of Ship Creek, at present-day Government Hill.

Downtown is a major employment center for the greater Anchorage region, drawing commuters from as far away as the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
