Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Portland! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Portland for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Portland is the heart of the Pacific Northwest - a quirky, urban city on the intersection of the Willamette River and Columbia River surrounded by dazzling mountains, farmland, forests, and waterfalls. Portland makes a great destination for travel via the International Airport on the edge of town. The late spring - early fall is a wonderful time to sightsee and check out all the nearby hikes.
