Directions
Sitka National Historical Park is located in downtown Sitka, Alaska. Sitka is situated on Baranof Island on the outer coast of Alaska's Inside Passage. No roads reach the city from the mainland; Sitka can be reached only by air or sea. Visitors can travel to Sitka by scheduled and charter air services, ferry, and cruise ships.
Sitka is a port of call for passenger ferries on the Alaska Marine Highway System. Many cruise ships schedule a stop in Sitka on their Inside Passage itineraries.
Once in Sitka, visitors without their own vehicles can travel to the park by foot, rental car, taxi, bus, or bicycle. The downtown area is not very large, and most points of interest are within walking distance of each other.
