When travelling to a new place for the very first time it is always a good idea to try and get your bearings in and around the area.

You can learn a great deal by heading to the local market or to the many art galleries or museums that the city is sure to offer.

Visitors to Anchorage hotels will find that there is plenty there to keep them entertained and one of the best venues to visit is the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts.

Indeed, the theatre always plays host to a number of superb plays and this month is no different.

The alternative theatre troupe - the Reduced Shakespeare Company - will be performing their typically zany show from December 14th to 15th.

Tickets for one of the performances will be available from just $33, while the best seats in the house will set visitors back $38.

Guests at the Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage will find they are perfectly situated to see the play as it is situated around ten minutes' drive away from the venue.
