Shopping in Portland

  1. Powell's City of Books

    The largest independent bookstore in the US, this place is dangerously addictive. Bank on your quick one-hour 'browse' turning into three. Fantastic travel section.

  2. Pearl District

    The Pearl District is dotted with high-end galleries, boutiques and home-decor shops - don't miss Powell's City of Books. On the first Thursday of each month galleries stay open longer and people fill some of the Pearl's streets amid a party atmosphere. And on weekends, visit the quintessentially Portland Saturday Market.
