Portland, OR has a laidback and welcoming atmosphere that most visitors find irresistible, and it offers a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities all year long. The temperatures can get quite chilly during the winter, so bundle up and go tubing or ice skating or visit Pioneer Courthouse Square to admire the lights.

When the evening comes around, hop aboard a ferry to participate in a dance party on one of the area's two rivers, or take a more traditional approach and attend one of the celebrations that take place in the city's many bars, nightclubs, and breweries.
