Zero sales tax
(a savings compared to other US cities)
113 kilometers (70 miles) of trails in Forest Park,
a thriving wilderness within city limits
29 minutes to the spectacular Columbia River Gorge,
where waterfalls, wineries and windsurfing await
3 miles (4.8 km) of Waterfront Loop, a downtown bicycle and pedestrian path with lovely city views and bald eagle sightings
47 working breweries within city limits (more than any other city in the world—try 'em all!)
500+ food carts for a good meal anywhere in town from local favorites like Potato Champion (with dessert at Scoop!)
And that's not counting... Portland's farm-to-table (and forage-to-fork) restaurants; boutique hotels that ooze originality; cutting edge galleries and performing arts venues; 90 minutes to skiing on Mt. Hood or surfing on the Pacific coast; year-round festivals of food, drink and flowers; and arguably the world's first barrel-aged cocktails.
