Descripción

Welcome to Seattle! This self-guided audio tour will walk you around downtown, share historic tidbits and point out the stunning postcard-like architecture. To begin with, you will learn about the glory days and rebirth of the ornate 5th Avenue Theatre, hosting popular musical premieres like Hairspray before the Broadway does. Next, you will get to the iconic Pike Place Market to catch up with its daring history and meet Rachel the Bronze Pig, its mascot. Beneath the Market, you will see a quirky urban artwork, the Gum Wall, which is two million gum pieces attached to the wall by passersby. By the Seattle Art Museum' facade you will spot the famous Hammering Man, a hard-working kinetic sculpture that moves nonstop, and you will learn why it does. Passing by the quaint building of Seattle's oldest and most prestigious social club called Rainier Club, you will hear about its high-profile members like Mark Twain and Bill Clinton. Don't miss an aerial view of Seattle while on the tour. For that, you can climb the 73d floor of the tallest building in the entire Washington, the modern Columbia Center. Or, you can take the old-fashioned elevator to the deck on the 35th floor of the Smith Tower, the oldest one in the area. Finally, you will get a glimpse of the city's early days in the 1850s at the Pioneer Square, its fisrt neighborhood. Join the tour to see how old and new images of Seattle are mixed!
