If it’s your first time in Portland, Downtown is where you want to be. This is where you will find many of the city’s museums, shops and the bulk of the hotels. Pearl District is a hub for all things hip, from microbreweries to coffeehouses, while Old Town Chinatown is the city’s historic quarter. Got little humans in tow? Nob Hill is ideal for families, and if you’re looking to explore Portland after-dark, Central Eastside is where you need to be.

Your appetite! Portland has a reputation for its exciting culinary culture that walks the line between fine dining, classic cuisine and dive bars, so be sure to pack your stretchy pants! It’s a weird thing to say but Portland is also pretty proud of its rainfall, in fact, true locals pride themselves on their ability to thrive in the rain. If you’re keen to kick it with the locals, be sure to throw in a rain jacket and weather-proof boots.
