The Most Beautiful Parks and Green Spaces in Seattle
Despite being a city, Seattle works hard to remember the importance of green spaces. It helps when your city’s backdrop is a mountain range to the east and the west. The Seattle Parks and Recreation manages over 485 parks, but the following are the most beautiful.

Olympic Sculpture Park is part of the Seattle Art Museum, along with the Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park (see above). It’s essentially an open-air museum on Elliott Bay with the Olympic and Cascade mountains as the backdrop—in other words, beauty surrounded by more beauty. The park is free and open to the public year-round, including free tours. Panaderia is a pop-up café at the park, providing your taste buds with culinary treats. Indoor and outdoor facilities are available to host events for 10 to 350 people.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet.
