A harbor with boats, a Ferris wheel, and a city skyline with skyscrapers.

This Seattle neighbourhood just north of the CBD is seriously the place to go for the best brunch of your holiday.

Belltown is for brunching, a good time to indulge in a strong cup of Seattle coffee before checking out the boutiques and record shops begging to be explored. The P-Patch community gardens are a little-known green oasis amid the high-rise condos. Once you’re ready for another meal, close your eyes and point your finger anywhere in eclectic Belltown, and you’ll find something exotic to enjoy. When it comes to nightlife, heaps of swanky little bars dot the district, so take your pick!
