Map of South and East of Downtown

You could breeze through Pioneer Square and the International District in a couple of hours, but instead take your time and explore the historic and cultural ambience of each neighborhood. Wander through Pioneer Square's antiques stores, used bookshops, art galleries, and crafts boutiques, then stroll past all the wonders of the I.D. herbal apothecaries, kitschy knickknack and housewares shops, Vietnamese noodle houses, Chinese dim sum restaurants, and Asian produce stalls -- plan at least two hours for each.
