Shopping
Juneau is a shopper’s delight! The spirit of Alaska and the creativity of her artists are displayed every art form imaginable. Dozens of art galleries and shops burst with paintings and prints, pottery, sculpture, Alaskan antiques and jewelry. Alaska Native-carved silver bracelets with totemic designs are popular as are carved ivory and argillite pendants, bracelets and rings. Wood carved masks and totem poles are sought after pieces for discriminating collectors of Alaskan artwork.
In addition to artwork and gifts, Juneau has several companies that produce memorable food and drink items to take home to your favorite kids and adults. When in Juneau be sure to sample the premium Juneau-roasted coffee of the award-winning Heritage Coffee Company.
One of the nation’s most decorated craft breweries, The Alaskan Brewing Company, is the creator of Alaska Amber, a frequent gold medal winner. The Alaska Fudge Company is guilty of taking chocolate lovers to a whole new level with their unique Alaskan fudge recipes and don’t miss the oldest operating bakery in Southeast Alaska at the Silverbow Inn. Finally, you simply must load up on strips of smoked salmon and other seafood specialties from any local processor who will gladly ship your treats home.
