Start at Powell’s City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world. Walk through the Pearl District for coffee, art, and boutique shopping. Relax in the serene Japanese Garden, then grab lunch from a local food cart pod. End the day with a sunset view at Pittock Mansion and a craft beer from one of Portland’s legendary breweries.

Hike the trails in Forest Park, one of the largest urban forests in the U.S., or head to Washington Park for its gardens and zoo. Venture out to see Multnomah Falls, just 30 minutes away. Bike along the Eastbank Esplanade or paddleboard on the Willamette River. Portland is perfect for nature lovers who also want to stay close to the city.

Start your morning with fresh-roasted coffee and a pastry from Coava Coffee. Hit up food carts for lunch—Portland is famous for them—and explore local breweries or distilleries in the afternoon. Don’t miss Voodoo Doughnut or the more local-favorite Blue Star. End your evening with a tasting menu at a chef-driven restaurant in Northeast Portland.

Explore the murals and indie shops in Alberta Arts District, then swing through the Portland Art Museum. Visit quirky spots like the Freakybuttrue Peculiarium or Cathedral Park under the St. Johns Bridge. Catch a local band at a dive bar or grab a drink in SE Division, known for its eclectic, creative vibe.

Take the kids to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) for hands-on exhibits and planetarium shows. Walk through Washington Park to visit the Portland Children's Museum and Oregon Zoo. Grab lunch at a food truck with plenty of kid-friendly options, and spend the afternoon playing in Laurelhurst Park or exploring the riverside.
