Portland
Mount Hood
Portland is nestled in the shadow of Mount Hood with its snow-capped peaks. As Oregon’s largest and oldest city, it is certainly good at being relevant and moving with the times. This is partly due to its flourishing art, theatre and music scenes that promote a plethora of experiences to explore.
City of Roses
A more laid-back, casual natured city – Portland, gives you that quaint small town feel that is so endearing. With stunning parklands aplenty and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, the scope of opportunities for sightseeing the outdoors is endless. This is also coupled with a well-balanced blend of historic and modern architecture. Giving you a city that makes you want to dive in deep to discover all the intricacies of this “City of Roses”, as it’s known.
