8 days in Portland Itinerary

A big city with a small-town feel, Portland is home to the country's biggest rose test garden, perched on a hill overlooking downtown.

Oregon Historical Society and Live Laugh Love Art will appeal to museum buffs. Shop till you drop at Powell's City of Books and Northwest (Nob Hill). Explore Portland's surroundings by going to Camp 18 Logging Museum & Restaurant (in Seaside), Hug Point State Park (in Cannon Beach) and Willamette Valley Vineyards (in Turner). There's much more to do: surround yourself with nature on Volcano Lands - Private Tours, admire the verdant scenery at Willamette Valley, take a stroll through Alberta Street, and learn about winemaking at Archery Summit Winery.
