Anchorage's widely scattered neighborhoods make for a city that is not particularly pedestrian-friendly. Downtown, however, invites walking. The grid plan was laid out with military precision by the Army Corps of Engineers, and streets and avenues run exactly east-west and north-south, with numbers along the first axis and letters of the alphabet or Alaska place-names (Barrow, Cordova, Denali, etc.) along the other. The only aberration is the peculiar absence of a J Street. It's probably wisest to rent a car if you plan on doing any serious sightseeing, but the municipal People Mover bus system covers Anchorage and costs nothing within central Anchorage, and only a dollar one-way to go outside the downtown area. You can get schedules and information from the central bus depot at 6th Avenue and G Street. </body>
