Day 1
Fly direct from London Heathrow to Portland.
Stay for 4 nights in Portland. We offer a range of hotel options to choose from to suit all tastes and budgets.
Part of Portland’s charm is how easy it is to get around. Compact, walkable blocks and a comprehensive public transit system make reaching the city’s top sites a snap. And it’s just a short jaunt from the urbane offerings of downtown to up-and-coming eastside neighbourhoods.
Day 2-4
Get energised for your day in “The Rose City” with a cup of joe from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, where the beans are sourced responsibly and roasted locally.
Discover a unique keepsake at Portland Saturday Market. Rain or shine, you’ll meet artists selling their hand-crafted wares at this open-air market. Open Saturday and Sunday, March-December.
Journey back to the Ming Dynasty at the Lan Su Chinese Garden. This urban oasis, built by Suzhou artisans, features a peaceful lake, covered walkways, richly planted landscape and an authentic teahouse.
Get lost in a book lover’s paradise at Powell's City of Books, the largest used and new bookstore in the world. Be sure to grab a map — the store takes up an entire city block and it’s easy to get lost among 1.5 million books.
Stop for lunch at Jake's Grill. Built in 1909, this Portland landmark features American classics like roast beef and chicken pot pie, as well as the freshest seafood.
Next, savour the sights and scents of the oldest public rose test gardens in the United States. The International Rose Test Garden offers spectacular views and more than 8,000 roses.
Quench your thirst with a brewery tour and tasting at Widmer Brothers Brewing Company. Founded by Kurt and Rob Widmer in 1984, Widmer is now Oregon's largest brewery, thanks in large part to its award-winning Hefeweizen.
Cross the river for some tax-free shopping on North Mississippi Avenue. With independent clothing boutiques, restaurants, shops and friendly bars, this street is a lively place to linger, day or night.
Dine in true Portland fashion at one of the city’s hundreds of popular food carts. Mississippi Marketplace is Portland’s first dedicated food cart space, providing a perfect chance to grab dinner while mixing with locals.
Day 5
Return to the airport in time for your flight back to the UK.
