Amtrak Thruway

Pros: I have told all my Astoria friends about this bus service. I don’t know how long this company has made this route. I was born in Astoria and believe I remember there always being a bus to Portland but I never took one- or anyplace else in the state. I have always had someone to drive me or had my car. Since I have moved to the Midwest, I no longer have a car. I’m currently unemployed and didn’t want to spend the money to rent a car. This was WONDERFUL. In fact, I’m moving back to the west coast and though I will have my car, this is a great option. I love being able to relax, look out the window and let someone else drive. The price certainly makes this a perfect option in the future as well. Please keep it affordable for people! Thanks so much! Cons: Nothing. Tips: Enjoy the ride from Portland to Astoria! It takes a bit longer than driving yourself, but you can just relax and enjoy the beauty through the north coast forest!

Portland is the largest city in Oregon and accordingly one the state's best vacation destinations. Also known as the City of Roses, this city along the Willamette River wows visitors with its diverse street food, quirky counterculture, and sprawling bookstores such as the world-famous Powell's Books.

Portland is the 5th best city in the United States for outdoor activities, thanks in part to open-air grounds like the expansive Forest Park. Gardens are also excellent outdoor date locales for couples on a romantic getaway: stop and smell the roses at either the International Rose Test Garden or the Portland Japanese Garden.

Once you've gotten hungry from a long day wandering outside, nearly every block downtown has a plethora of food trucks waiting to tickle your taste buds. Or, kick back at one of the many breweries in the #3 best city for craft beer in the United States. Unique locations like McMenamin's brewpubs in renovated cinemas or historic hotels do their part to "keep Portland weird."

As the biggest city in Oregon, Portland is a hub for travel throughout the Pacific Northwest. Amtrak train service and various bus services operate primarily out of Union Station, conveniently-located downtown, and nearby Portland International Airport makes it easy to travel to Portland from near and far.
