Creativity knows no bounds in Portland’s urban core and surrounding cities.

With a reputation for originality, this region dares to dream — where streets serve as art galleries, nature parks are bigger than neighborhoods and chefs, winemakers and brewers are encouraged to experiment. Maybe it’s because inspiration is everywhere you look: in the forests and farms, rivers and rolling hills, skyscrapers and tiny houses, museums and gardens. Looking for a trip that’s out of the ordinary? You can find it in the Portland Region.
