Things To Do
International Rose Test Garden
About a mile from our wedding venue, we highly recommend you walk through the famous Portland rose garden before making your way to the ceremony. Bonus: it's free!
Portland Japanese Garden
Situated right by the Rose Garden, check out the Japanese Garden which also has beautiful views of the whole city. Tickets are $17.
Northwest 23rd Avenue
Head to this neighborhood for streets lined with cute shops, restaurants, and bars.
South Waterfront
Stroll along the riverfront and check out the Saturday Market (operates both Saturdays and Sundays).
Forest Park Trails
For some beautiful walks in nature without leaving the city check out Forest Park. Recommendation: take the Lower Macleay Trail to the Wildwood trail for a nice hike up to Pittock Mansion with views of the whole city.
North Mississippi Avenue
One of our favorite streets in Portland. More shops, food, and bars. Recommendation: have a beer (or a boot!) at Prost, a German beer bar with multiple food trucks onsite for quick bites.
SE Portland Neighborhoods - Belmont, Hawthorne, Division
WIth more of a classic "Portland weird" feel, the Southeast neighborhoods, including Hawthorne, Belmont, and Division streets have lots to explore. Head to a favorite breakfast spot - Fried Egg I'm in Love - at 3549 SE Hawthorne.
Mount Tabor
Another great park for some nature and trails without leaving the city is Mount Tabor. You an also drive to the top for views of the city!
10 Barrel Brewing Portland
Great beer, food, and a rooftop patio. Also walking distance from some other breweries worth checking out - Deschutes, Rogue, Von Ebert, and River Pig (not a brewery, but a good spot).
A Roadside Attraction
Might be the weirdest bar in Portland. Cash only, but worth the experience.
