Sightseeing
For guests with a car, we always recommend checking out St. Johns, a unique neighborhood in north Portland. The St. John's bridge is especially beautiful, and the views from Cathedral park are stunning. St. John's itself has lots of cute coffee shops and places to shop and eat. Lovely place to spend an afternoon.
