Portland
What you need to know before you go
Portland, set on the banks of the wide Willamette River, is Oregon’s largest city and it’s a place that puts a high value on culture. Portland Art Museum in the city center has outstanding collections of Asian, Native American, and American art, and also features its own art house movie theater, the Whitsell Auditorium.
The city is well endowed with green spaces and a particular favorite with locals is Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, with 36 acres stretching along the Willamette. Stroll among the lush greenery, fountains, and lawns, or explore the park on a rented bicycle.
