7) Portland (7 of 7)
Portland is the place to be if you are a foodie. There are so many things that you can do there, such as take the free walking tour at the Secrets of Portlandia, which will give you a chance to learn the history and culture of the city. You should pay a visit to the neighborhoods and have a look at the beautiful street art and mingle with the locals. If you love books, head straight to the Powell’s City of Books, which has the privilege of being the largest independent chain of bookstores in the world. It is recommend that you check out what the store is hosting as it usually holds book club meetings and readings every few days. The city is known for cheap food so make sure that you try out the local restaurants and vendors. Some of the places to consider for your stay include the Everett Street Guesthouse, which is only $100 per night and is near the restaurants and cafes in the downtown area. Avoid the hotels on the city centre as they will cost you around $250 per night.
