Portland is the city I’ve always wanted to visit. From a distance, it appears to be the small city with a metropolitan vibe. To finally visit up close, it was exactly that. First off, they are serious about their food. Bon Appetit magazine named the city the “Foodiest small town in America” with about 389 restaurants. One local even mentioned that if any of the restaurants had a rating less than 4 stars, it would be closed by the next year. Also, their downtown is home to a vivacious art scene with a mix of galleries and an art museum featuring local artist. On top of that, they are the most friendly people I’ve ever met.
If you’re planning to visit there, take a chance to include some of these unforgettable places on your itinerary.
