5 days in Portland Itinerary

A big city with a small-town feel, Portland is home to the country's biggest rose test garden, perched on a hill overlooking downtown.

Get out of town with these interesting Portland side-trips: Newberg (Adelsheim Vineyard & Penner-Ash Wine Cellars), Vista House (in Corbett) and Soter Vineyards (in Carlton). There's much more to do: look for gifts at Powell's City of Books, hunt for treasures at Portland Saturday Market, see the interesting displays at Portland Art Museum, and admire the striking features of Pittock Mansion.

To see traveler tips, more things to do, reviews, and more tourist information, refer to the Portland trip planner.

In December, daily temperatures in Portland can reach 45°F, while at night they dip to 35°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 27th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
