Oregon – also known as the “Beaver State” – is located in the northwestern United States. Here, rugged coastlines, dense forests and snow-capped mountain peaks frame the horizon, and adventure is always just around the corner. And in the heart of this beautiful scene? There lies Portland, a vibrant city full of life, art and surprises on every street corner. Portland is also known as the “City of Roses” due to the city’s famous rose gardens.
But Portland and Oregon are also a great destination in the winter. We’d love to tell you why, so immerse yourself in vibrant Oregon with us and discover Portland’s unique flair!
Start your vacation in Portland
What do you imagine for a city trip in winter? We can say “cool” literally and figuratively. As the snow falls, city life turns from autumn colors to a fairytale atmosphere. Cozy cafés serve cups of hot chocolate, and the entire city is decorated with cozy lights.
In addition, the city combines this with urban flair. With the Willamette River as a backdrop, sample specialty winter beers at craft breweries, immerse yourself in the city’s eclectic arts scene, and stroll through parks and rose gardens with a wintry twist. Don’t forget your thick jacket and warm shoes and discover the magic of Portland in the cold season.
