Get to know Portland with Viator

Portland's quirky "keep it weird" spirit—satirized in shows like Portlandia—gives the whole city a unique, off-beat character. The arty, alternative-minded spot is a haven for street-food lovers, independent boutique shoppers, and craft beer and coffee obsessives. That said, this Pacific Northwest is also a big draw for outdoorsy types with lots of public parks (including the vast Forest Park), easy access to the Columbia River Gorge, and a very bike-friendly culture.
