About this activity

Discover Portland with our self-guided tour, exploring the quirky, creative, and fiercely independent city nestled between the snow-capped peaks of Mount Hood and the rugged Oregon coast. Begin at Pioneer Courthouse Square and wander into Powell's City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world, filling an entire city block with over a million volumes. Stroll the warehouses of the Pearl District, then ascend into the West Hills to experience the Portland Japanese Garden and the International Rose Test Garden with 10,000 rose bushes blooming beneath Cascade Range views. Cross the Willamette River on the Hawthorne Bridge to discover the murals and vintage shops of the Alberta Arts District. Explore the Lan Su Chinese Garden, taste legendary doughnuts at Voodoo Doughnut, and marvel at the Gothic arches of St. Johns Bridge in Cathedral Park. Beyond the city, visit Multnomah Falls — Oregon's tallest waterfall plunging 189 meters down a basalt cliff in the Columbia River Gorge.
