Portland has one of the most attractive, inviting downtown urban cores in the United States. It's clean, compact, and filled with parks, plazas, and fountains. With a mix of new and historic buildings, architecture aficionados will find plenty to admire. Hotels, shops, museums, restaurants, and entertainment can all be found here, and the entire downtown area is part of the Tri-Met transit system's Fareless Square, within which you can ride MAX, the Portland Streetcar, or any bus for free.
