getting around town

Seward is compact and easy to navigate. The majority of activities and attractions are found within one mile of downtown or the boat harbor, so walking and biking— especially along the waterfront path—are feasible with light luggage or a daypack.

The City of Seward and many hotels, lodges, and tour operators offer complimentary shuttles. A tear-out map of Seward, including the free shuttle route, can be found at the back. See p. 73 for a full list of transportation operators.
