Getting Around

Portland is a very walkable and bike-friendly city, especially when paired with a public transportation system that includes light rail, streetcars, and buses. A car is recommended for extending your adventures to the surrounding outdoor playgrounds such as Mount Hood and Tillamook State Forest.

Best time to Visit

The warmest temperatures are from June to September, ideal for all the street fairs, concerts and other outdoor activities on offer. This is also the peak period, so book early to secure your hotel room. December through February get very cold and rainy, with maximums of around 45°F, but this is the best time to keep cozy by visiting all the amazing craft breweries and sample their fare. You won't regret it.

What to Pack

Portland is undoubtedly a city break destination first and foremost, with more cool bars and hip restaurants than you can count. But you should pack for a varied vacation. Here are some suggestions:

  • Biking clothes: Lycra at the ready...biking is big in Portland, with miles of bike paths and trails to explore. Renting a bike is easy, too.
  • Hiking boots: OK, so you won't get much opportunity to hike in hip central Portland, but in Forest Park there's plenty of walking to be done.
  • A jacket: At any time of the year, even in summer, you're likely to need a light jacket for the evenings, at least. Winter means coat weather.
