Antes de ir
Do aeroporto
From Portland International Airport (PDX), the MAX Red Line light rail is the easiest and cheapest way downtown. The trip takes about 40 minutes to Pioneer Courthouse Square and costs $2.80 for a 2.5-hour ticket or $5 for a day pass. Taxis and rideshares (Uber/Lyft) cost $35-50 and take 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
Como se deslocar
Portland's downtown and many core neighborhoods (Pearl, Nob Hill, parts of the Eastside) are highly walkable, with dense grids, wide sidewalks, and pedestrian-friendly bridges. The city is famously divided by the Willamette River, but walking across bridges like the Steel or Hawthorne is part of the experience.
Dicas locais
- Always carry a light rain jacket, even in summer. Portland's famous 'drizzle' can appear at any time, but rarely ruins plans.
- Download the 'Trimet Tickets' app for easy, cashless payment on all buses, MAX light rail, and streetcars. A day pass is $5.
- For the best food cart experience, head to pods with communal seating like Cartopia, The Asylum, or Prost! Marketplace.
