Things To Do
Powell's Books
A Portland classic, Powell's is a full city block of new and used books. Don't miss the beautiful wood-paneled rare book room!
Ride the Tram
The Aerial Tram offers fantastic views. If the weather's good you'll get to see why Portlanders call it a "five mountain day."
Multnomah Falls
We love visiting the Columbia River Gorge, and Multnomah Falls is the classic tourist stop! Enjoy amazing views of "Portland's playground" on the easy 30 minute drive from downtown.
Portland Farmers Market
Stop by the beautiful, leafy Park Blocks on Saturday morning before the wedding for some fantastic local baked goods, coffee, and fresh produce.
Craft Brews
More than 16,000 unique beers are made at 116 breweries in Portland. We don't recommend attempting to taste them all in a weekend, but we definitely think you should try a few while you're here!
Urban Wine Tasting
Oregon wine country is world-renowned, but you don't have to drive out of town to try some fantastic wines. The urban winery scene in Portland is booming, especially on the east side. Check out the members of the PDX Urban Wineries Association.
Food Carts
There are hundreds of food carts in the city, serving everything from gourmet grilled cheese to pies to Korean-Mexican fusion. Most are grouped together in pods with outdoor communal seating. Perfect for grabbing a casual meal!
Hike Forest Park
Forest Park is one of the largest urban forests in the US. There are dozens of trailheads but the Upper Macleay parking lot by the Audobon Society offers easy access to the popular Witch's Castle.
