Start at DIRECTOR PARK

Our downtown Portland, Oregon walking tours are engaging, well-paced and colorful: the Best of the City! It’s a weird city, but there are stories in every building, park and brick. We’ve organized our city’s best things -- and of course, it’s most complicated and conflicted, as well. In an ever-changing world we continuously change the story of the city. We walk about 2 miles/3 km.

Much of Portland’s history can be told through the buildings and street layouts including the prioritization of parks in the city center. It’s not a dry history: full of back-room deals, early deaths and greed; and then there were hippies!

How did Portland become the 1st city on the West Coast with a fine art museum? How did the city's early cultural reputation influence its mid-20th century; and how did it become such a lightning rod for racial justice protests? We'll discuss what was, is, and will be the soul of the city.

Czego oczekiwać
1
Dyrektor Parku
Wszystkie wycieczki rozpoczynają się w DIRECTOR PARK. Spotkamy się w południowo-wschodnim rogu tego miejskiego parku krajobrazowego, w pobliżu skrzyżowania SW Taylor i SW Park Ave. Nasze miejsce spotkań znajduje się po drugiej stronie ulicy od wejścia do Regal Fox Tower. Parking jest dostępny na pobliskich ulicach lub na parkingach w sąsiednim budynku. Tramwaj MAX kursuje zaledwie jedną przecznicę dalej, na przystanku Pioneer Square.

Bloki South Parku
Wiele z historii Portland można opowiedzieć poprzez budynki i układ ulic; co najważniejsze, priorytetowe traktowanie parków w całym centrum miasta. Przejdziemy przez parkowe bloki i dowiemy się, dlaczego zostały tak ułożone; i czego przed śmiercią nie zrobił projektant bloków parkowych.
3
Budynek Portland
Od budynków z żeliwnymi fasadami po okazałe, katastrofalne, postmodernistyczne budynki Portland, śledzimy naszą historię poprzez architektoniczne wybory dokonane przez naszych urbanistów.
4
Plac Sądu Pionierów
Żadna wycieczka po centrum Portland ani historia związków miasta z hipisami nie byłaby kompletna bez wizyty na Pioneer Courthouse Square. Od jego przeszłości jako centrum edukacji po dążenie do powstrzymania „brudnych hipisów”, dowiemy się, jak i dlaczego ten plac nigdy nie był daleko od umysłów Portlandczyków i gości miasta.

Director Park
All tours start at DIRECTOR PARK. We'll meet you in the southeast corner of this urban hardscape park, near the intersection of SW Taylor and SW Park Ave. Our meeting spot is across the street from entrance to the Regal Fox Tower. Parking is available on the streets nearby or in lots in the adjacent building. The MAX light rail comes just a block away, at the Pioneer Square stop.
6
South Park Blocks
Much of Portland’s history can be told through the buildings and street layouts; most importantly, the prioritization of parks throughout the city center. We'll walk through the park blocks and learn why they were laid out this way; and what the park blocks' designer didn't do before he died.
7
The Portland Building
From cast iron-fronted buildings to the grandly disastrous post-modern Portland Building, we trace our history through architectural choices our city planners made.
8
Portland Art Museum
We will walk by the exterior of the museum and talk about the history of art in Portland.
9
Pioneer Courthouse Square
No tour of downtown Portland, or history of the city's relationships with hippies, would be complete without a visit to Pioneer Courthouse Square. From its past as the center of education to the drive to keep out the "dirty hippies," we'll learn how and why this square has never been far from the minds of Portlanders and the city's visitors.

She was very friendly and informative. She seemed to be very knowledgeable about her city. Nice introduction walk.

it was so great to join such an intimate group for two hours of exploring the center of Portland! my guide seemed to know exactly how to find the three of us at the corner of Director Park — the directions were easy to follow. then we set out to learn about the history of the city’s architecture and art and culture, but with a context to national and world history that I found engaging and also super helpful to think about the way the west coast weaves into the story of today, and the connection to international movements. I’m so glad I got this long term local’s perspective!!

I thought it was boring. Mostly talked about a few buildings and their ownership history would like to have seen more diverse area

Hi there Renee, I am sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the tour. We typically find that our guests very much enjoy learning about buildings and architecture, as well as other history about art, culture and indigenous histories I am sure your guide shared with you. As all of our tours walk through the center of downtown I am not sure what we can do to increase the diversity of our tour; sadly we cannot meet everyone’s needs. If you visit again I would suggest a nature focused tour.
