Anchorage

 Anchorage is a paradisiacal home base for skiers, hikers, fishermen and wildlife watchers, but that doesn't mean the city itself should be ignored. Alaska's metropolis boasts a plethora of attractions, including museums, shops, nightlife venues and a fantastic zoo. And if nature is your true calling, bear in mind that you don't have to skirt the city limits to get your fill: Visit during the summer to experience the City of Flowers (home to more than 400 flower beds) in full bloom or during any other season to be dazzled by the sparkling Northern Lights.
It use to be a city filled with tent and now it has houses.
