Fairbanks | AllCheapFares

Fairbanks is  the second largest city in Alaska. Located in the interior of Alaska, about 250 miles north of Anchorage. Fairbanks has an area population of  about 85,000 people. It is located in the scenic Tanana Valley, with warm summers (up into the 90s) and cold bitter winters (as low as  -50). Fairbanks is home of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks campus, and nearby military installations. It serves as the economic hub of interior Alaska.  

The city of Fairbanks and the greater Fairbanks area is home to a number of attractions and events, which draw visitors from outside of Alaska throughout the year. Summer tourist traffic primarily consists of cruise ship passengers who purchase package tours which include travel to Fairbanks. Many of these tourists spend one or more nights at a local hotel and visit one or more attractions. Tourism the rest of the year is mostly concentrated around the winter season, centered upon the northern lights, ice carving and winter sports. In addition, other events draw visitors from within Alaska, mostly from the community's trading area throughout Interior Alaska and the North Slope.
