Fairbanks Travel Guide

Fairbanks is Alaska’s Golden Heart City

A visit to Fairbanks, located in Alaska’s interior, offers a glimpse back in time to its gold rush glory days. Or look back even further to learn about Native culture at the local museums. Our Fairbanks travel guide is designed to cover all aspects of the area’s most historic sightseeing and points of interest. Located just 200 miles from the Arctic Circle and 120 miles from Denali, Fairbanks is a good starting point for touring around the state. And with nearly 24 hours of sunlight in the summer months, you’ll have plenty of time to explore. To experience some of the best Northern Lights viewing, visit between August 21 and April 21.
