Things To Do
Portland Japanese Garden
One of the most beautiful and serene gardens in the country—perfect for a peaceful stroll and stunning photos.
Take a Hike
Get outdoors and enjoy the lush greenery. We recommend Hoyt Arboretum or Forest Park for nearby scenic trails and fresh air or one of the many trails the Columbia Gorge has to offer - Angle's Rest is the best one within a 30 minute drive of Portland.
Shop Local
Visit the boutiques, vintage shops, and quirky stores along Hawthorne or Division Street —plus, you can find plenty of coffee stops along the way.
International Rose Test Garden
Portland is the City of Roses for a reason! This garden boasts thousands of blooms and incredible views of the city.
