"The City of Roses," "Bridgetown," "Puddletown," or "Brewtopia," are the many nicknames given to the town of Portland, Oregon. Whatever name you may call it, Portland with its great public transportation and small city blocks, is a wonderful town to wander and explore.

The moment you land at Portland's award winning airport (the best U.S. airport I have experienced) head straight to Pioneer Courthouse Square to get a feel of the local ambience, then browse the miles of book shelves at Powell's City of Books and of course you must head outdoors to bask in Portland's natural beauty (after all this is the home of Nike). Finally, end a perfect day by rewarding yourself with a beer in one of Portland's many microbreweries.
