GOLDEN HEART CITY
Although Alaska' s gold rush was only relatively short-lived, it put Fairbanks on the map as Golden Heart City once and for all. Thanks to the Chena River and a railroad, Fairbanks grew to become Alaska's second largest city. Meanwhile, Fairbanks is also accessible via two highways. A modern city with the allure of a metropolis, yet it is located in the middle of the wilderness. Here you can enjoy the best of both worlds, with many amenities, culture and entertainment options, and numerous opportunities to explore nature from the Golden Heart City. In the winter months, you can witness the play of colors of the magical Northern Lights during clear nights.
