Shop
Lincoln Street is the shopping street. Expect artist-run and Native-owned galleries, a strong independent bookstore, Russian imports, and Sitka-made soap and sea salt rather than chain jewelry stores.

Walking map: the shuttle stop and downtown Sitka
The free shuttle from the cruise terminal stops at Harrigan Centennial Hall on Harbor Drive, and tenders land at Crescent Harbor beside it. St. Michael's Cathedral and Castle Hill are a few minutes west along Lincoln Street, the Russian Bishop's House is a few minutes east, and the totem trail in Sitka National Historical Park is about 15 to 20 minutes on foot at the east end of the street.
