Explore

Grab a friend and step into the biggest bookstore in the world: Powell’s Books. New adventures and unread pages are two sides of the same coin.

Food

Portland is famous for fresh food featuring local ingredients and Pacific Northwest flavors, and its number of food carts. You’ll find everything from some of the finest seafood in the world to truly delectable doughnuts.

Shopping

With no sales tax in sight, Portland is a shopper’s paradise. Explore the city’s vibrant maker scene for souvenirs, go treasure hunting at one of the many antique or vintage shops, or spruce up your style at one of the specialty stores featuring iconic brands.

Transportation

TriMet manages the city’s public transportation system, which includes bus service, the MAX Light Rail and a streetcar. Public transit offers one of the best ways to get around Portland on a budget, as tickets for one mode of transportation apply to them all.
