Amtrak Thruway

Pros: An affordable and comfortable means of travel for those who don't (or choose not to) make driving excursions. I enjoy being able to to just sit back, relax and feel safe during highway trips. Cons: Perhaps a more obvious prompt or reminder in the confirmation email that the traveling party may need to also download the scan code pdf (as it may be required by the carrier prior to boarding.). Tips: If you are planning to take the coach between Portland and Astoria Or, you are in for a treat. The views alone are worth the price of the fare. Do be advised that variable highway 26 conditions and a layover to switch drivers at a midway point do occasionally create a potential for variations in actual arrival times. I suggest that riders allow some expectations for these possibilities to make the trip even more enjoyable.

Portland is the largest city in Oregon and accordingly one of 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.
