Embark on a journey through the Portland Japanese Garden, hailed as “the most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan.” As you roam through, you'll find that there are five main gardens: Flat Garden, Strolling Pond Garden, The Tea Garden, Natural Garden, and Sand and Stone Garden. Tranquility and lovely scenery are guaranteed here.
If you want to see art, then the First Friday event is where it's at. The event exposes the city's best galleries, exhibit openings, alternative art venues and more. Hosted by Portland's Eastside art galleries, this event takes place the first Friday of every month, and guarantees the best the city's art scene has to offer.
Hop on the Portland Brew Bus and guzzle down the best micro-brews that Rose City has to offer. Portland is home to more microbreweries than any other city in the nation, so experiencing this tour is a must for any beer lover. On the tour, you'll visit between three and four breweries, and sample anywhere between 15-25 different beers.
