| About Portland
Portland, known as "The City of Roses" for its famous Rose Garden, is
the largest city in Oregon and the second largest city in the Pacific
Northwest. Approximately 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean, it lies in a
magnificent setting between the sparkling waters of the Columbia and
Willamette Rivers.
With an inviting leisurely pace, Portland, views itself as a small,
accessible city, vaguely European in character. Stroll through any of
its neighborhoods and a culturally vibrant city unfolds, from art
galleries to wine bars housed in historic and modern buildings.
|
Its lush green parks are perfect for a picnic or an afternoon stroll.
Portland was built with walking in mind. The short blocks, combined with
public art and old fashioned statuary, fountains, bridges and parks
offer opportunities for leisure and contemplation for the casual
stroller. Portland also has an award winning mass transit system, one of
the most extensive and advanced in the U.S.
Major attractions include the Portland Art Museum, Pioneer Courthouse
Square, the Rose Garden Arena, and the Oregon Zoo. Don’t forget the
world's largest bookstore, Powell's City of Books. Shopping options
range from high-style shops to hip and funky boutiques. Stay the weekend
to sift through homespun crafts at the Portland Saturday Market. Also,
Portland is just a short distance from Willamette valley wineries,
Pacific Ocean beaches, and waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge.
The nearby Pacific Ocean provides Portland with tasty treasures,
particularly savory oysters and succulent sturgeon. Of course, don’t
forget the many coffee houses and intriguing local brewpubs.
