Portland has something for the whole family. Kids will love the baby elephants at the Oregon Zoo, the nearby Children’s Museum and OMSI, Portland’s top-flight interactive science and industry museum. Older explorers will want to make an appointment to tour the utterly fascinating Shanghai Tunnels in Old Town, through which drunken 19th century sailors where whisked away into virtual slavery from Portland’s infamous docks.

Portland has many lovely parks. Forest Park alone covers 500 acres, has 50 miles of hiking trails and 11 miles of bike trail along Leif Eriksson Drive. No visitor should leave Portland Oregon without wandering through the stunning Japanese Gardens.

Day trips from Portland can take travelers to many great outdoor adventure spots. Mt. Hood has 4 resorts and North America’s longest ski season. Oregon has a good wine country, and travelers can’t go wrong stopping at wineries like Clear Creek Distillery or Adlesheim Vineyards for a taste. Traveling the Historic Columbia River Highway provides and excellent view of the waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge, including Multnomah Falls, the tallest cataracts in Oregon and the 2nd largest year-round falls in the United States.

When in downtown Portland Oregon, be sure to check out the Portland Building. Many consider its post-modern architectural style an eyesore, but the 36-ft. copper rouse statue crouching over its doors, the magnificent Portlandia, is 2nd in size only to the Statue of Liberty for a sculpture of its kind.

Having been spared the kind of aggressive, remorseless development that many Seattle residents have come to loathe, Portland still retains a pleasant, small-city feel, both for its well-preserved Beaux Arts architecture and walkable urban core, as well as its easygoing atmosphere. That said, there's not a lot to keep intrepid tourists here for more than a day, with most of the city's handful of major attractions located within close walking distance of each other on the short city blocks – half the size of most American cities. On the other hand, while Portland's unpretentious bohemian flavor may be lost on more gung-ho travelers, the city remains an excellent spot for casual visitors to slack around for weeks at a time, with a wealth of good diners, microbreweries, clubs, bookstores and coffee houses to keep you occupied.

The city was named after Portland, Maine, following a coin toss between its two East Coast founders in 1845 ("Boston" was the other option). Its location on a deep part of the Willamette River, just 78 miles from the Pacific and surrounded by fertile valleys, made it a perfect trading port, and it grew quickly, replacing its clapboard houses with ornate facades and Gothic gables. Nevertheless, throughout the nineteenth century it remained a raunchy, bawdy place, notorious for gambling, prostitution and opium dens. By the 1970s, Portland's historic buildings had decayed or were sacrificed to parking lots and expressways, but since then, it has salvaged what was left of its past, replacing concrete with red brick, and introducing folksy statues and murals. Although the city's rehabilitation, along with its "urban growth boundary" to limit unrestrained development, has done much for Portland's reputation nationwide, most residents are ambivalent about the praise and would prefer you move anywhere – preferably Seattle – but here.

Portland is the third of the three large cities in the Pacific Northwest (the others are Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.). Although it goes by unnoticed in many travel books, the City of Roses is one of the most beautiful cities in Western America.

Portland lies to the far northwest of Oregon, straddling the Willamette River just south of its confluence with the Columbia River at Vancouver, Washington. About 50 miles to the east lies majestic Mount Hood, which forms the perfect backdrop for Portland's skyline. The Pacific Ocean lies about 90 miles to the west over the Coast Range.

As the largest city between San Francisco and Seattle, vies with those cities as the spiritual capital of the laid-back northern Pacific coast. However, it does so in a way that mixes big-city dynamics with small-town friendliness. In contrast to rapid-growing Seattle, until recently Portland avoided the problems that come with fast growth. Although now Portland is experiencing the same rapid growth, it has been able to keep its unique character.

Progressive city planning practices such as an urban growth boundary have made Portland a very compact and user-friendly city. Unlike other metropolitan areas, you can drive 20 miles from downtown Portland and be out in the country. Environmentally friendly practices such as recycling are part of the culture here. It is also known for taking creative and unconventional ideas to solve its problems. For instance, it tore up a downtown freeway and transformed it into Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Its light rail system, originally built in the late 1980s and subsequently expanded, has won nationwide acclaim.

In recent years, the city has become known as much for its microbreweries as Seattle is for its coffee houses. There are more breweries per capita in Portland than any other city in the world, and many of them have won nationwide and international acclaim.

Weather in Portland can be dry and hot in the middle of Summer, but once Autumn begins to roll around, it may change very suddenly into the kind of wet, rainy weather that the Pacific Northwest is known for. However, be wary of carrying or using an umbrella in Portland, as the locals may look upon it with disdain.

Places of Interest
Portland is roughly divided into 5 sections, labeled Northwest, North, Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest. While North and South are conveniently separated by Burnside Street, East and West are separated by the Willamette River, which takes a turn north of Burnside and forces the somewhat clumsy split between Portland's Northwest, North, and Northeast sections.

Downtown proper is located in the Southwest section, which houses a handful of business high-rises as well as hotels, brewpubs, classy restaurants, and coffee shops. The MAX light rail and Tri-Met bus system are free within the boundaries of the Southwest section; taking the bus across the Willamette, for example, will cost money.

Powell's Books on Burnside and SW 10th is the largest independent new and used bookstore in the world, spanning an entire city block and rising 4 stories high. There are a total of 5 other branches throughout Portland, specializing in different categories such as Travel and Technical books, but none of them is as big as the main branch. With over a million books across more than 3500 categories in stock and a rare books viewing room on the top floor, Powell's books is a must-see for anyone who loves literature.

The Hawthorne District in Portland's Southeast section is located along Hawthorne Boulevard. It is the center of the counter-culture/hippie/bohemian community, with thrift stores and vintage clothing shops, vegan restaurants, independent open-mic coffee shops, craft stores, dive bars and microbreweries, as well as a branch of Powell's Books.

The Pearl District, which lies in Portland Northeast between I-405, Burnside and the Park blocks, is the trendy hub of the city. Formerly a half abandoned warehouse district, the area is now home to several art galleries, eateries, popular shopping destinations, and posh high-rises and condos. All art galleries participate in First Thursday, which, as the name suggests, takes place on the first Thursday of every month. Gallery admission is free during First Thursday, and many of them also serve wine and cheese.

Another trendy shopping area is located on NW 21st and NW 23rd streets, sometimes also referred to as Nob Hill. Several popular stores and restaurants, both corporate and independent, line these two avenues, and it is one of the most populated shopping/eating districts in the city, particularly on the weekends.

The Portland Classical Chinese Garden is a beautiful urban retreat in the heart of the Northwest section's Chinatown district. A guided tour will show you the pond, the teahouse, the pavilions, several gardens.

The International Rose Test Garden in Portland Northwest is the largest in the United States, and its history is one of the reasons why Portland is known as "The City of Roses."  The gardens are primarily used as a testing ground for new varieties of the flower, and they are comprised of several sections displaying exotic roses and providing spots for rest and respite. Rent a limo in Portland (OR)!
