What better way to discover Seattle's most important monuments than in the comfort of a sightseeing bus? Hop on and off at any of the stops to explore the places that interest you the most!
After climbing aboard the Seattle Sightseeing Bus at any of the 20 stops spread throughout the metropolis, you'll take your seat for a panoramic tour of the largest city in Washington state. Ready? Throughout the route, you'll get to hop on and off the bus at any of the stops, allowing you to personalise your itinerary and tailor your tour to the monuments and landmarks that interest you the most.
With this bus, which features an audio guide in English over the speakers, you can explore one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the United States. If you prefer, you can also listen to the commentary in Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean by downloading the official app to your cell phone. In addition, the app lets you follow the route on a live map, see the location of the nearest stop, and find out in real time how long until the next bus arrives.
Technology is certainly at home in Seattle: it is the birthplace of Microsoft, whose headquarters are located here, and the futuristic crown on the city is the iconic Space Needle. How tall is the tower? Why was it built? All will be revealed on your sightseeing bus tour!
The route will also give you the opportunity to discover Japan Town and Chinatown, and to take a stroll through the leafy Occidental Park.

Although you can start the tour at any of its stops, Stop 1 (Space Needle) is located at 398 Broad St (on Broad St, next to the Space Needle loop at the intersection with John St, across from the McDonald’s at KOMO Plaza).
Important: Every Saturday from June 6 through October 31, due to street closures, Stop 18 will be relocated in front of the Via 6 building, at the west corner of 6th Ave and Lenora St (on the right side of the street).
Your ticket will be valid for 24 or 48 hours from the time of first use, depending on which option you have selected.

During this time, you can hop on and hop off the buses as many times as you'd like, something that will allow you to discover Seattle's iconic and must-see spots.
Although when you book you'll be asked to select a start day, you can start using the service within 3 months from the selected date.
