Portland is one of the nation's most bicycle-friendly cities, so seeing Rose City from behind a set of handle bars kind of makes sense. Let the people at Pedal Bike Tours lead the way to the city's best sights, from Historic Portland to the Columbia Gorge, to the breweries and wineries and everything in between.
Enjoy some of Portland's outdoor beauty as you explore the area surrounding Forest Park Wildwood Trails. The trails stretch around 40 miles and in the wilderness throughout live a variety of mammals, birds, and lush vegetation. With much of the park overlooking the Willamette River, you're guaranteed some of the best views of the city.
You'll feel like a kid again when you explore the shelves of Finnegan's Toys & Gifts. This store has been locally owned and operated for over 30 years and sells a variety of board games, stuffed animals, LEGOS, puzzles and much more. Take the kids to pick out their new favorite toy, and maybe get a little present of your own.
Take the time to stop by and see one of the city's most significant pieces of public art, Portlandia. Located at the Michael Graves' Portland Building entrance, the statue is a reincarnation of the city seal, designed as a woman holding a trident and welcoming visitors to the building. The statue is the second largest copper repousse in the nation, surpassed only by the Statue of Liberty.
