Plac Sądu Pionierów

Pioneer Courthouse Square, położony w sercu śródmieścia Portland, to przestrzeń publiczna, w której każdego roku odbywa się ponad 300 zaplanowanych wydarzeń. Z ponad 26 000 osób odwiedzających codziennie Plac, jest to najczęściej odwiedzane miejsce w mieście. Cechy Placu obejmują Fontannę Wodospadu, zbudowaną z granitu; szesnaście kolumn z klasycznymi filarami zwieńczonymi rzeźbionymi żółtymi różami, po których pełzają różowo-zielone cętki; oraz dwa murowane amfiteatry, w których odbywają się imprezy.

Międzynarodowy ogród testowy róż

Jeden z charakterystycznych punktów miasta, położony w pięknym Washington Park, największym oficjalnym ogrodzie różanym Portland, jest domem dla ponad 10 000 róż, w tym ponad 650 odmian róż. Od maja do października można spacerować wśród pięknych kwiatów, wdychać wspaniałe zapachy i podziwiać spektakularne widoki na centrum miasta i Mount Hood.

Północny zachód (Nob Hill)

Okolica stylowej Northwest 23rd Avenue oferuje mnóstwo wspaniałych sklepów i wybornych lokali gastronomicznych. W północno-zachodniej dzielnicy (znanej też jako Nob Hill lub Alphabet District) stuletnie witryny sklepowe w stylu wiktoriańskim i rzemieślniczym, w których mieszczą się wyjątkowe butiki, stoją obok krajowych sprzedawców detalicznych, przeplatanych kawiarniami oraz modnymi restauracjami i barami. Krótko mówiąc, to raj dla kupujących.

4

Dzielnica Perłowa

Doki załadunkowe i brukowane uliczki nawiązują do przeszłości tej dawnej dzielnicy magazynowej, a stylowe bary i lśniące lofty wskazują na przyszłość. Dzielnica Perłowa była wcześniej zajmowana przez magazyny, przemysł lekki i składy kolejowe, a teraz znana jest z galerii sztuki, restauracji, ekskluzywnych firm i wieżowców wraz z loftami przerobionymi z magazynów.

Targ rolniczy w Portland

PSU Farmers Market to światowej klasy targ rolniczy, który przyczynia się do sukcesu lokalnych hodowców i producentów żywności oraz tworzy tętniącą życiem przestrzeń spotkań społeczności. Portland Farmers Market w Portland State jest duży i obejmuje prawie trzy przecznice w całym kampusie Portland State University. Oznacza to, że nie brakuje sprzedawców dla całej rodziny. Na tym rynku możliwości kupowania i jedzenia są naprawdę nieograniczone. Mają nawet Veggie Valet, aby kupujący mogli zostawić zakupy hurtowe, gdy skończą zakupy! Na rynku są również muzycy i seria Chef in the Market, która jest pokazem gotowania z sezonowymi składnikami marketingowymi od lokalnych szefów kuchni. PSU Farmers Market będzie odwiedzany tylko podczas naszej sobotniej porannej wycieczki po mieście Portland (w inne dni odwiedzimy N. Mississippi Avenue) i będziesz miał czas na spacer i zwiedzanie rynku.

Studia Mississippi

North Mississippi Avenue oferuje długi odcinek tętniących życiem sklepów, wyjątkowych barów, klubów muzycznych i restauracji (i znajduje się zaledwie pół mili od jeszcze bardziej uznanych restauracji i barów na wschodzącej North Williams Avenue). To miejsce będzie odwiedzane podczas poniedziałkowych i niedzielnych porannych wycieczek po mieście Portland, a będziesz miał czas na spacer i zwiedzanie tego obszaru.

Możesz odkrywać lasy na całym świecie dzięki dwóm pięterom unikalnych, praktycznych eksponatów.
