Portland is in the oregon state (very important that you know so as not to confuse it with the Portland of Maine). In the United States there are many cities that repeat names, so when choosing a destination or organizing your vacations you should look carefully at the state to which the city you have chosen belongs to be sure that it is where you really want to go. Portland It is a city full of energy that for decades went unnoticed until it became popular for being one of the most beautiful cities on the West Coast and in recent years its tourism has grown tremendously.
One of the symbols of the city is the Mount hood, an imposing mount of about 90 kilometers that if the day is clear you can see all the tops of the mountains and the landscape is spectacular, in addition, there is also Mount St. Helens that when it erupted in 1980 covered the entire city with ashes . Portland has nothing less than 250 parks, a real luxury if we consider that it has just over half a million inhabitants. Meanwhile, there is the largest urban natural park in U.S, the smallest park in the world (spectacular contrast!) and also the only one extinct volcano of the low states that is in city. A natural luxury in the city.
Art is very important in Portland, in fact, 2% of the cost of new construction with public funds is required to allocate it to this facet. In addition, you can find works in any corner, in a fire station, police station, in a park or in any building. You can also visit the Oregon Zoo, the Oaks Amusement Park or the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. For nightlife, in Portland you can enjoy the best live music clubs in the country. Fun for everyone and lots to see in Portland.
