Being Orthodox Christians, my wife and I really wanted to see the church. It was a nice walk up the hill through town (maybe a mile from the dock) to get there, and well worth it. Even though the church wasn't open for viewing when we arrived, the priest came out of his house and after a brief conversation let us in. He only asked that we not use flash for photography. It was very peaceful, and we just sat quietly at first. Loved all of the iconography, and signs explaining the history. Really beautiful and worth the walk up the hill.

We boarded directly from our ship, Holland America Volendam, right in the middle of the chandel. The St. Nicholas took us up really close to the glaciers and under a waterfall. Crew was extremely knowledgable and friendly. I'm going to do it again.

We would have loved to go inside; but, it was being renovated and all we could do was look at the building from the street.

We could see the onion dome from the capitol. so we thought we would walk over. It's amazing how small this church is, but there isn't much to see or read, but it is worth a few minutes of your time.

It's uphill all the way, which is not so easy when you're a senior, but the climb is well worth it! I was greeted by a woman manning the gift shop, who led me around to the church's entrance. The church is very beautiful and is an historical gem, dating from 1894. Being a Monday afternoon, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of visitors who came while I was there. This is truly a house of prayer and is the home for Orthodox Christians from many countries. Like so many churches, St. Nicholas exists on contributions, and, while I was not asked to pay anything for admission, I joyfully donated on the way out. I hope all who visit are generous.

When you arrive by ship, get away from the the touristy stuff and head into town. Juneau isn't much to look at -- "this place is the capital of a state?" I thought. This little octagonal Russian church is certainly nothing you'll see in the rest of the states. And it has some great art from that period.

Presently under renovations so not open but worth a quick visit to see the building and have a peek in the windows. Wonderful to see it is being maintained. Simply walk up the hill through the downtown Juneau area and you will arrive.

We walked the eight blocks from downtown, couldn't find the bus, cloudy and rainy but an interesting walk. The problem was when we got to the church; the closest we got was across the street. There are back hoes and construction workers giving the site a much needed redo. The visitors center downtown did not know about the closure so if you go somewhere in Juneau maybe call for information about open and closing hours. Interesting little church from the outside and an interesting picture with the back hoes and all.

We found the church had ready access by going around the corner and approaching via the small park. Someone was there with the door open to explain the church's history as desired and to also open the gift shop. It's very ornate and worth the trip up the hill.

Lots of scaffolding around the dome and not able to go inside....It was a nice hike up the hill to find this out....but the Catholic chapel next door was nice.
