Explore Portland: From Forests to Farmers’ Markets

Portland’s lively core and beautiful green spaces offer more than enough to keep you entertained, both indoors and out. Here are just a few of our must-see areas.

Downtown Portland

With the historic Pioneer Square as its centerpiece and a calendar of near-constant festivals, farmers’ markets and other events, Portland’s downtown area is the perfect blend of old and new. Look out for the Portland Art Museum, the Oregon History Museum and the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. You’ll also find many of the city’s car rental firms concentrated here.

The Pearl District

There’s no hint here of the post-industrial decline this area was facing not so long ago. Today the Pearl District is home to ultra-trendy restaurants and bars that capture Portland’s DIY spirit, as well as the much-loved Powell’s City of Books – which occupies an entire block – and a smattering of car rental firms that spill over from neighboring Downtown.

Forest Park

Discover the biggest urban park anywhere in the country, a vast, partially forested landscape that sprawls across 5,000 acres. Its miles of trails and convenient location make it a favorite with local hikers, bikers and bird-watchers as well as visitors to the city. If you want to start at its northern tip, you can drive there from Downtown in minutes.
