Get to Know Portland's Most Vibrant and Historic Neighborhoods
Grab your walking shoes, and become an urban adventurer. Local author
Becky Ohlsen guides you through 33 unique walking tours in this
comprehensive guidebook. The self-guided tours highlight the Rose City's
many charms. Go beyond the obvious with tours that showcase hidden
gardens, historic landmarks, award-winning restaurants, old-school
taverns, oddball shops, and edgy warehouse galleries. Stroll past coffee
shops that line the streets at the foot of an extinct volcano. Swing
through an independent bookstore, and grab flavorful eats from one of
the city's food-cart "pods." Cross bridges and graveyards, and wander a
Smithsonian-honored boulevard.
Each featured walk includes full-color photographs and detailed
neighborhood maps, along with vital public transportation and parking
details. Route summaries highlight points of interest on each tour,
while tips on where to dine, have a drink, and shop help to ensure that
you find the "can't miss" locales. You'll soak up history, stories, and
trivia on your way to the best parks, shops, restaurants, and nightlife
in Oregon.
