Portland Japanese Garden
Quiet paths, koi ponds and mountain views create a peaceful escape. Many visitors say it feels as authentic as gardens they’ve seen in Japan.
International Rose Test Garden
Over 10,000 rose bushes bloom each summer. The colours and fragrance make it one of the city’s most photogenic spots.
Powell’s City of Books
An entire city block of shelves—part bookstore, part Portland landmark. Book lovers often spend hours happily lost inside.
Food Carts
The city’s famous food trucks serve everything from BBQ to gourmet doughnuts. It’s a casual, fun way to eat like a local.
Columbia River Gorge
Just outside the city, waterfalls plunge down mossy cliffs into green valleys. It’s Oregon scenery at its most dramatic.
