I live in Portland and Have been to the majority of these places I never really realized how much I take for granted. Portland is amazing. And to all Portlandians all I have to say is - Stay Weird 😉
As I scrolled through the comments I realized It always amazes me how a percentage of the population feels a need to be negative. This article is ""22 to Things to Do in Portland, OR" and as a native Oregonian, I agree with the writer. I've done about 98%, (I've missed some of the food/beverage suggestions.) Nowhere does he suggest moving to Portland or tell you how livable the city is. Portland, like any major city has it's social issues, such as the homeless and traffic, but that is not what the article is about. So enjoy his suggestions and add positive ideas of places to explore you feel he missed, like The Shanghai Tunnels and or The Victorian Mansion. An additional note, while Voodoo Donuts is not my favorite place for donuts, it is unique and features one of a kind donuts. That is worth exploring for nothing else than to check the place out and to say you've been there, i.e. worth exploring.
I agree to a point and appreciate your ❤for kindness, however, visitors should be aware and prepared for the danger and deminished experience due to the conditions our city managers have allowed. 😢 our family doesn't spend time in.many of our favorite haunts anymore. too dangerous
Why even visit? Portlanders are mostly clickish assholes! They're so political they're exclusive to anyone that disagrees with them. To them a Nazi or fascist is literally anyone who they disagree with.
This video made me a little homesick as I lived in Vancouver (just outside of Portland and across the Columbia River for those of you who don't know). Now I live outside of Philly. I miss the PNW.
Portland has changed! antifa and the homeless problem the corrupt city government filth everywhere. Can't go downtown without the chanec antifa might attack you or your car. Portland has become a hatefilled facist city. Thanks to the leftest facist take over
I highly recommend Vista house if any of you plan on going out to Multnomah falls. If you have the opportunity, I would just drive all of the old historic highway 30 and you will see a ton of beautiful waterfalls that are usually much less crowded than Multnomah falls. I live only a few miles away from old highway 30 and i take my motorcycle out a few times a week just to ride that road and it blows me away every time. Also just an hour out of portland is the Mt. Hood National forest. Portland is a disgusting city and i highly recommend spending as little time as possible there. The streets are flooded with used heroin needles...
He listed Rocky Butte and Washington Park so I think that covers the high view points. The thing he missed is walking the Downtown Park Blocks up at Portland State and the Art Museum. That area makes Portland stand out.
Thank you so much for this video. It was a huge help in planning our trip. We loved Salt & Straw and Pine Street Biscuits. Gravy was another hit and we recommend you try it if you haven’t before.
I’ve lived in the Midwest for 25 years but grew up in Tillamook, OR, and went with my dad to Portland often as he taught at PSU. It’s funny listening to folks in the Midwest trash talking about Portland and Seattle, but both cities are beautiful and have so much to offer, if you travel with an open mind. I love Dot’s on SE Clinton, Mt. Tabor, and the Doug Fir Lounge. St. John’s is a fun quirky neighborhood that I only visited recently. Great video, thanks as always.
Oregon Zoo great old open air steam train ride through the woods at it above the Japanese Garden and Rose Garden. You can go zoo and depart to see the other sites, than ride train back to zoo afterwards. The woods are just relaxing & magical to ride the train through.
Goreon i went there when I was in 2bd grade and I don’t remember much so I went there again for Senior skip day and it was hella wack 😂 waist of money i should’ve gone paintballling with the other group of friends
Hearing you talk about the trams made me think about all the times I used to ride on them when I was younger. OHSU (The college that the trams are connected to) is the place where I got diagnosed with type one Diabetes when I was five. I'm nineteen now and I still go there for my Diabetes appointments. I always like to look at the trams because of the nostalgia I get from it.
Just wanted to say, been watching travel vlogs for awhile now and you are one of my top 5 favorites for sure. Love that you do the voice over after. Super HQ. Well prepared, edited, and produced. Kudos my dude.
The negative comments are due to the amount of whining you Portlanders do about everything and everything political. Anyone opposite of far left isnt welcome and you know it. That's 100% fascism. So yes, negativity will follow Portland until Portland can accept different opinions, ideas, and thoughts without resorting to violence, vandalism, and fascism, etc. Time to grow up. Anyo
I highly recommend 'Eem' on N Williams - one of the most amazing culinary experiences I've ever had, serving dishes unlike anything I've ever eaten. And I love 'Cider Bite' on NW Hoyt (so many yummy ciders) & 'Wailua Shave Ice' on W Burnside, both in the Pearl. 'Salt & Straw' had a seasonal lemon blueberry flavor earlier this summer that was mind blowing, but the Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache is a regular flavor that's fabulous. Portland has sooooooo much to offer that I could go on and on
Stumptown coffee is the best! My daughter lives in Portland and I used to visit there several times a year. However, since I've moved down to New Mexico I haven't been there since 21. Going there in 25.
We went and used some of your recommendations and appreciated your insight. Loved the Japanese Gardens and Tea House, Chinese Gardens and Tea House, the Rose Test Garden (Washington Park in general), and the Tram up to the hospital. And Voodoo donuts! I’ve got a couple extra ideas should you go back. USS Blueback submarine tour - as long as you can handle tight spaces. A lot more interesting than we thought it would have been. PDX Dönerländ was a great place to eat but our favorite restaurant was adjacent to Occidental Brewery called Urban German Wursthaus, next to the St. John’s bridge.
I live in Vancouver WA. Across the river on I-5, we have a downtown River Walk. Excellent place to go an view Portland. Vancouver is less weird then the city of Portland. We like to keep it that eay.
if your going to multnomah falls id highly recommend stopping at crown point on the way back especially at sunrise/sunset. well worth the view and driving scenic route 30 is always fun
When he mentioned Tualatin I was so happy cuz that’s where I live. Also recommendation #23 go to a timbers or blazers game the atmosphere there is amazing
You'll become disenchanted! Honestly, read recent news articles about previous residents returning years later only to have their car's windows broken out three times in a week and all their stuff stolen, or being assaulted by junkies that are in every block and have the police refuse to come to them even if they were shot at!
Hey Josh, I've recently had a 3 day stop-by in Portland and, thanks to your tips, I was able to visit Powell's, OHSU Skyline, The Stag Sign and Salt and Straw. Beautiful blue skies and beautiful tips. Congrats!!
You need to add Sugar Street Bakery and Bistro on this list. Honestly the cupcakes are Delicious and they are named after Portland streets.... Naito, Pettygrove, Alberta, etc. This place is so popular but still a lot of non locals have no idea about it!
I got a sugar rush just watching those voodoo donuts. Them biscuits though oh my. A video highlighting you’re favorite beers and breweries sounds like a great idea.
Same here. Interesting how people everywhere don't know their own city, state or country. Usually outsiders or foreigners are the ones who know them best.
If u don't live in Portland cause I live here the festival's are the rose festival and cinco de mayo and rose is near summer and cinco is from May 4 to the 6 but beware of the many homeless people oh and busy Multnomah falls it's beautiful
Wow, you just summed up another reason why I can't stand Portland. Was that thing you wrote up there supposed to be some sort of sentence? Go drink some more tap water, I don't think you've had enough...
@@ameliaeustice7720 It's full of fake hippies with all of their fake "love" and stupid LOA religions. It is full of passive-aggressive backstabbers who use you for a free ride. Cost of living is high. California is taking over. All sorts of reasons to not like Portland. I loved it at first until all of the fake revealed itself to me.
I live in PDX and appreciate all these places. Your video is so well done! Every single one of these is an absolute MUST if you need Portland in a nutshell.
Hey gotta tell you guys I live in Portland and theres alot of things to do if you just walk down divson some of the few places I recommend or PDX sliders de Nicholas montage definitely check out some of the food carts
Nah, I would rather just avoid Portland altogether. It is too bad, too, I still have legit friends who live out there who aren't from there. Maybe that is why they aren't shitty people?
@@ArtofBrandonTruster Most of the really shitty "locals", came from California in the last 25 years. The actual locals do treat visitors poorly, because they have to deal with the ones who stayed.

This is a great video! There are some pretty terrible travel vlogs featuring Portland that came up first in my search results and I'm glad I found this one. Thank youuuu!!
Make sure you are making between 150 thousand to 250 thousand a year if you want to live there because that's what it takes to live in Portland OR nowadays. Nice place to visit.
Horseshoe 2398 , the median income in Portland is close to $90,000! I just found that out, and now so much stuff makes sense. I now understand why every day is a financial struggle! meh
@@heatherkaye8653$90,000 is about right but the point is, Portland has gone mad over the years on how much you must make in order to live. It's like a bunch of crooks in Portland got together to see what they can do in order to make 10s of millions of dollars off the people.
People are so aggressive 😂 Portland is a great city with lots to offer! It's a reasonably affordable city to visit compared to other touristy cities. It's fun and quirky. It's no more dangerous or drug ridden than other big cities 🤷🏼♀️ Good video
A great place to check out in Portland is Pearl Bakery on NW 9th Avenue and NW Couch Street. They have many great coffee concoctions and alot of unique pastries.
You should check out Jenni's Sacred grounds when you're here next. They have awesome food the best coffee and the owner does a lot of amazing things for her community.
Um.. Portland Saturday Market!? (Sundays too!) A fantastic way to experience what Portland is all about. TONS of local artist, vendors, and street performers! Every weekend from March to Christmas! Portland is a fantastic place to VISIT nowadays. But please don't move here. The housing situation has gotten pretty tough. Instead, bring your weird experiences and the spirit of Portland back home with you! :)
Daniela Rivera My Love... The property developers and the people who especially come to soak into the creative scene. I, and my beautiful friends from way back spent my life starting projects and going forward with another hundredfold. Finally, after 50 years in my hometown, my rent is far too high. Two jobs does not make it. I have no contempt for folks who have endeavored to come here...Love, I meet and love so many. My issue is start your own. I see too many tech people expecting to come to the old contingent. We did this far before the internet existed. Think about how I must feel. I was not trying to be intolerant but I well see now how that comes across. I grew up at the top of Cathedral Park. My heart breaks. Please understand. Gal, what about how your hometown was it that brought you here? XOXOXOXXXXX
I'm so old I remember when Saturday Market used to be the hippest thing to do in Portland. There are still great places and great things to do but there's also too much traffic, junkies and crime now. Guess that's to be expected given it's meteoric growth and influx of people from mostly Cali. If you can afford it and are lucky enough to secure tickets try and catch a Timbers MLS match at Providence Park, built in 1926 and gone through extensive renovation it's as close to an old school English football stadium that you'll find in the US. Now if they would just ditch that field turf and install a hybrid pitch like a real and proper English stadium I could die a happy man. We used to go up to the Witch's Castle all the time as teenagers and smoke weed while keeping an eye out for narcs. Now we just sit at home and smoke weed with our neighbors who are cops, ahh the benefits of legal recreational Mary-e-wanna.
Spot on! Also a Portland native and I remember when Hawthorne started to become super trendy and I was so happy since I lived in the neighborhood. Hawthorne and Saturday market were the place to go for hippy trinkets and wondering around. It's a shame everything has gotten so crowded and expensive, but it's still a super dope city.
Are you old enough to remember the shallow concrete pool that we could wade in? How about the downtown Morrow's Nut House, pre Lloyd Center? Best cashews ever! Speaking of L.C. how about skating on real ice and watching the Zamboni smooth it out while waiting to be among the first on the fresh ice?
I live I tualatin and my uncle works for ponzi& lives in Portland. We always go to visit them and I’ve been to almost all of these places and I didn’t realize how much I take for granted. I love portland
Also a family owned brewery near Sherwood Oregon is wolves and people. They make their own beer and very nice community based winery. Recommend checking it out. They could use the support right now
And watch how few fish actually make it through the dam system. I went as a kid and it was teaming with salmon. Not anymore. The dams (and over fishing and pollution) are killing them off.
It’s mostly because of the sea lions, they have swam all the way up to the dam and eat the fish. But they are considered endangered and cannot be killed, or removed.
The thing I've noticed in Portland is a lack of public garbage cans (atleast on eastside). If you have some trash, you better be prepared to schlep it around with you until you get home.
Grew up in Portland and currently live in Albuquerque, NM. Love the shout out to Ex Novo as they are from NM and have a taproom here as well. A fave spot to visit when we got back up to PDX and have breakfast is def City State Diner for us or Fat City Cafe in Multnomah.
@@ceyrrahlmfao9288 Oaks park is south of Portland, Gresham is to the east. You either don't live in Portland, or you're really bad with directions. Like, REALLY bad.
Got so baked one time I got lost in Powell's books, ended up flipping through an astrophotography book for like 2 hrs.
Watch out for those edibles 😂

Most of these places won't exist in a year after nonstop riots.
Portland and Oregon in general the worst. Filled with a bunch of racist white people. I wouldn't mind if Russia nuked it.

This is the best “what to do in Portland” videos that I’ve watched, in researching my upcoming trip.
Also just explore downtown
@@oliverhoffman4574any specific part of downtown you recommend?
Absolutely love my birthplace ! I will never leave Oregon until I’ve explored everything here!!
4:57 The Grotto if you are ever in Portland around the Holidays, it has the most breathtaking Christmas lights all threw out it.
Also Peacock Lane for wholesome neighborhood Xmas lights and hot chocolate and carriage rides!

What about the food carts. I'm a Portland native and I've found some of the best food in town is the carts. Cuisine from everywhere in the world.
A lot of very good food carts but be careful some are very unsanitary.
Same
That famous chicken rice place is delicious 😋
Today, in Portland, I found a miniature food cart toy. I purchased it for $2. Now it lives on my counter. haha
They moved a bunch of them to the pearl rip
I moved from Florida to Vancouver WA and just recently went to the Japanese and rose garden! Absolutely beautiful !!

Saturday Market?
Oregonians love Portland so much that most have to come check out just what they’re saying about the destination! I love Oregon.
For the love of everything skip Voodoo...
Never skip voodoo they are ok but use a lot of sugar
theyre pretty expensive
The only good spot on this list lol
They are sex traffickers

Horseshoe 2398 , the median income in Portland is close to $90,000! I just found that out, and now so much stuff makes sense. I now understand why every day is a financial struggle! meh
@@heatherkaye8653$90,000 is about right but the point is, Portland has gone mad over the years on how much you must make in order to live. It's like a bunch of crooks in Portland got together to see what they can do in order to make 10s of millions of dollars off the people.

Damm, Portland is on the other side of the globe. I've to visit Portland before I die. It's time.
My great grandpa worked on the St. John's bridge
Excellent video. I know Portland well and you have shown it in a great light. Well done!
People are so aggressive 😂 Portland is a great city with lots to offer! It's a reasonably affordable city to visit compared to other touristy cities. It's fun and quirky. It's no more dangerous or drug ridden than other big cities 🤷🏼♀️ Good video
You obviously don't live in Portland.
I do, and besides nutty tramps, it’s great
Well said Rachael! It's a beautiful city, the whole nation is going through something but we're just fine! ☺
I recommend OMSI, Departure at the Nines, the Tilt, Farmer markets, just walking around forest park, and for coffee, stumptown and heart
The rose garden is beautifulllll
A great place to check out in Portland is Pearl Bakery on NW 9th Avenue and NW Couch Street. They have many great coffee concoctions and alot of unique pastries.
The Witch's Castle wasn't a house. It's the remains of a public restroom that was destroyed during the Columbus Day Storm in 1962.
I'm considering a trip to Portland in November, so this is very helpful, thanks!
You should check out Jenni's Sacred grounds when you're here next. They have awesome food the best coffee and the owner does a lot of amazing things for her community.
I love your videos!! We will surely visit some of your recommendations in portland.thank you!!
Alright I'm a Portland local and still found this video actually useful.
Am from Atlanta need a plug-in from out there
What about the art museum,OMSI i didn’t seem that on the list
Bent shovel brewery, stone cliff inn, Glendoveer golf and tennis walking trails, Sellwood antique shops
Great video. I’ll be out in Portland for work but I’m definitely gonna hit some spots you recommend. Thank you!,
great notion and prost! those are the only beer places you need
Um.. Portland Saturday Market!? (Sundays too!) A fantastic way to experience what Portland is all about. TONS of local artist, vendors, and street performers! Every weekend from March to Christmas!
Portland is a fantastic place to VISIT nowadays. But please don't move here. The housing situation has gotten pretty tough. Instead, bring your weird experiences and the spirit of Portland back home with you! :)
aAh, I love the Saturday market! Living in Hillsboro, it's fairly accessible to me, and I love checking out the new booths
Shoulda shouted hoodie out to visit in the Gorge if the falls are packed. And we have a few great vineyards making some delicious wine too.
Awe man. You missed screen door. Such a dope place to eat.
I have been there before, it is a great spot as well!
For transplant millennial wanna be Portlanders. People only go there because they have no ties to any cultural places here.

My Love... The property developers and the people who especially come to soak into the creative scene. I, and my beautiful friends from way back spent my life starting projects and going forward with another hundredfold. Finally, after 50 years in my hometown, my rent is far too high. Two jobs does not make it. I have no contempt for folks who have endeavored to come here...Love, I meet and love so many. My issue is start your own. I see too many tech people expecting to come to the old contingent. We did this far before the internet existed. Think about how I must feel. I was not trying to be intolerant but I well see now how that comes across. I grew up at the top of Cathedral Park. My heart breaks. Please understand. Gal, what about how your hometown was it that brought you here? XOXOXOXXXXX
Daniela Rivera and Thank you for your lovely and dignified response.
Thanks going for several days. Can’t wait for the bookstore.
I'm so old I remember when Saturday Market used to be the hippest thing to do in Portland. There are still great places and great things to do but there's also too much traffic, junkies and crime now. Guess that's to be expected given it's meteoric growth and influx of people from mostly Cali. If you can afford it and are lucky enough to secure tickets try and catch a Timbers MLS match at Providence Park, built in 1926 and gone through extensive renovation it's as close to an old school English football stadium that you'll find in the US. Now if they would just ditch that field turf and install a hybrid pitch like a real and proper English stadium I could die a happy man. We used to go up to the Witch's Castle all the time as teenagers and smoke weed while keeping an eye out for narcs. Now we just sit at home and smoke weed with our neighbors who are cops, ahh the benefits of legal recreational Mary-e-wanna.
Spot on! Also a Portland native and I remember when Hawthorne started to become super trendy and I was so happy since I lived in the neighborhood. Hawthorne and Saturday market were the place to go for hippy trinkets and wondering around. It's a shame everything has gotten so crowded and expensive, but it's still a super dope city.
Are you old enough to remember the shallow concrete pool that we could wade in? How about the downtown Morrow's Nut House, pre Lloyd Center? Best cashews ever! Speaking of L.C. how about skating on real ice and watching the Zamboni smooth it out while waiting to be among the first on the fresh ice?
First place I ever ate gelato was at the Sat Market when I was a teenager. It was mind blowing.
Wonderful video! Thank you.
I live in Portland I love it here
I live I tualatin and my uncle works for ponzi& lives in Portland. We always go to visit them and I’ve been to almost all of these places and I didn’t realize how much I take for granted. I love portland
Ahhh I live here I love pips donuts go there all the time pls pls go there if u visit
Also a family owned brewery near Sherwood Oregon is wolves and people. They make their own beer and very nice community based winery. Recommend checking it out. They could use the support right now
The Bonneville fist hatchery near Bonneville dam is a spot not to be missed, i think!
And watch how few fish actually make it through the dam system. I went as a kid and it was teaming with salmon. Not anymore. The dams (and over fishing and pollution) are killing them off.
It’s mostly because of the sea lions, they have swam all the way up to the dam and eat the fish. But they are considered endangered and cannot be killed, or removed.
Very good..! Speedy and informative at the same time..!!
If you come to Portland please bring extra large garbage bags. It seems we've forgotten how to keep it clean!
The thing I've noticed in Portland is a lack of public garbage cans (atleast on eastside). If you have some trash, you better be prepared to schlep it around with you until you get home.
Grew up in Portland and currently live in Albuquerque, NM. Love the shout out to Ex Novo as they are from NM and have a taproom here as well. A fave spot to visit when we got back up to PDX and have breakfast is def City State Diner for us or Fat City Cafe in Multnomah.
You forgot to say about Oregon zoo, Cristal Spring Garden and 7 waterfalls.
oaks park 🤷🏽♀️
The one zoo where the animals are actually out and playing. Unlike L.A and San Diego zoos.
Yailen soto there’s theme parks everywhere and oaks park is pretty average
I don’t think our zoo is much better than any other zoo
All of Portland, OR is now a zoo with the animals wearing black clothing and killing/looting/burning the city to the ground.
Perfect vid! Quick and to the point! Spanks!
They forgot oaks park Ik it’s near Gresham but still it’s in Portland....
Madison Nelson yes it is I live in Gresham you dumbass
Oaks park is near Sellwood-Moreland on the Willamette. Get your areas correct. Gresham is next to Troutdale. Near the Sandy river.
Nugget Nationz I’m thinking you’re confusing Mt Scott community center that has a skate rink and a pool.
horacio arellano and it dosent have a pool
@@ceyrrahlmfao9288 Oaks park is south of Portland, Gresham is to the east. You either don't live in Portland, or you're really bad with directions. Like, REALLY bad.
I can’t wait to go to Portland.
Ooooh I’m going this weekend 😍
Well done. Thanks for taking the time to make this and share. Good foundation.
Fun fact: the witches castle is often used by high school students late at night on weekends for huge parties and smoke sessions.
Good to know! I'll put a tip-in for the police so they can make sure no dumbass kids like you are ruining the area.
Thank you sharing!
