Portland Vacation Guide
Split in two by a river, Portland is a bustling city of over 500,000 people. It is also one of the leading cities in North America for bike use. Everywhere you go in the city you will see numerous bike racks and cyclists travelling alongside the cars.
The downtown area is a popular place to go shopping. There are a wide variety of restaurants and old style Hotels downtown too. The downtown area is small enough that you can walk around and see most of it but the downtown core is on a "fareless square" of the Light Rail metro system so if you get tired you can hop on a light rail train or street car for free. The Light rail system and buses are also easy to use if you want to get around the city on public transportation.
The city has numerous parks and green spaces. Washington Park is the biggest where there is a zoo, an arboretum, Japanese Gardens, the famous rose gardens and hiking trails.
Portland is home to the largest independent used book store in the world.
The city and surrounding areas are also home to many historic buildings and heritage sites.
