Things to do in Portland, Oregon (OR): The Best Transportation

December 23, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

You’ll wonder why you don’t live in Portland after you’ve visited this laid-back and friendly city. With a reputation for manicured parks, eclectic nightlife, fine micro-breweries and distilleries, and nature that cuts right into the city, Portland’s a Pacific Northwest must-visit. Don’t miss the famous Japanese Garden, one of the largest and most beautiful of its kind outside of Japan.

The Max system was excellent for our visit to Portland, allowing us to buy a day pass and hop on and hop off at our destination.

Oregon Rail Heritage Center

Only working Steam Railroad Museum in Oregon. We have three vintage steam locomotives, machine shop, rail history exhibits, gift shop, and space for birthday parties. 10-mile train rides on Saturdays, Holiday Express train trips in November/December. Home to the American Freedom Train, driven 32,000 miles across America during the Bicentennial. This GS-4 locomotive is the last operating steam locomotive of its kind (Streamliner, created in an art deco motif), and is the most photographed engine in the world.

My family has always been into trains. I take train rides whenever I get a chance. The price of this place being free is amazing but I made sure to donate.

TriMet- Portland Streetcar

Reviewed By dbrown46 - Vienna, United States

It is so easy to use MAX to and from the airport...and note that if you are a senior, the fare is half. Once in Portland, we took MAX to the Japanese Garden and into neighborhoods in SouthWest. The lines are not convenient for near SE so we used Uber. We rented a car to leave Portland and explore the Wine Country and Coast and the rental offices are very conveniently located to numerous MAX lines, making it easy to walk with luggage to return to the airport.

This was a first train travel experience and we loved it! The building is beautiful, signs clearly tell you were to go and the people were helpful. On the train you have room to stretch out and move around in the cars. Great trip.

Portland Aerial Tram

The Tram is a popular destination for tourists, locals and people just looking to try something fun. The lower tram terminal is at the intersection of SW Moody Avenue & Gibbs Street --the most transportation-diverse intersection in the country. In addition to one of the nation's only aerial commuter trams, you'll see cars, buses, a streetcar, a soaring pedestrian bridge, a cycle track and the densest bike parking in America's #1 biking city. Bike valet is offered free to the public at Portland Aerial Tram Monday through Friday. Exiting the upper terminal you'll see the largest enclosed sky bridge in North America. Take a right to access an outdoor patio with seating and views of the terminal, the cityscape, the Willamette River and, on a clear day, Mount Hood and Mount St Helens. The upper terminal links to the 4T Trail--a self-guided tour by train, trail, tram and trolley. Much of Marquam Hill is a natural area with several trails.

Tram takes you from river level up the hill to amazing views of the city, river, Mt Hood, Mt St Helens. If it is a clear day it is just beautiful.
