Green, weird and progressive Portland

Do you like to combine city and nature? Book a flight to Portland and discover this trendy and characterful city amid waterfalls, rivers and forests on the West Coast of the United States. Lunch at farmers’ markets, visit the annual Pedalpalooza bike festival or wander through immersive art installations in Hopscotch. The city’s slogan is ‘Keep Portland Weird’. Portland is definitely anything but ordinary.

Books and endless bike paths

Portland is arguably the most quirky, progressive and green city in the United States. Choose from one of the numerous vegan and vegetarian restaurants or grab a share bike and explore the city via its many bike paths. When it comes to culture, Portland is certainly not boring either. Visit the Portland Art Museum, Oregon’s largest museum, or enter Powell’s City of Books. This book mecca occupies an entire city block and has more than a million books on its shelves. Need a breath of fresh air? You can get some in the city’s more than 200 parks and gardens. Highly recommended are the gardens of Pittock Mansion, from where you also have great views over the city. Not only is Portland the ideal destination for weekend holidays, it’s also a perfect starting point for a road trip in the United States of America. Treat yourself: book a flight to Portland now!

Forests, beaches and waterfalls

Portland is surrounded by beautiful and rugged nature. Choose one of the many mountain bike trails in Forest Park, or trek to the impressive Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge just outside the city. Prefer the beach? Oregon’s rugged coast is only an hour away. Be sure to visit Cannon Beach with the glorious Haystack Rock rising out of the water. Back in town? Then end the day with a bite to eat at one of the popular food cart pods. There is always something tasty to be found at these food truck gathering places!

Nature

Where do new varieties of roses come from? Ask the people at the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, high up on a hill overlooking the city. This is where new rose varieties are tested. But, for the residents of Portland, it’s also the favourite spot for a picnic – or to propose.

Shopping

One of the most charming neighbourhoods in Portland is the Pearl District, where everything is within walking distance. The loading platforms and cobblestoned streets are echoes from the past, while innovative companies and food service establishments usher in the future. This is also the heart of the city’s cultural life. You won’t have any trouble staying awake here, as no other neighbourhood in the United States has a higher density of coffee bars.
