Review & FAQ:

The small but charming city of Astoria is set on the banks of the Columbia River, only several miles away from the Pacific Ocean. Time seems to move more slowly here, so it's the perfect destination for anyone who wants their Thanksgiving weekend to feel as long as possible. Many visitors come here simply to relax and unwind, but there are plenty of things to see and do if you're looking for some excitement. Go kayaking down the river, learn about local history in one of the museums, or browse the shops that line the quaint streets of downtown.
