Mill Ends Park
This tiny park is worth stopping by if you’re in the area. The park has interesting history, and it’s constantly changing with new contributions. I heard news at one point someone stole the tree, but there’s one there now! It’s also right by the waterfront, so you can enjoy the views there afterward.

Stark's Vacuums
This may only be a hallway in the back of a Stark’s vacuum shop, but if you can channel your inner Monica, you can appreciate the vintage vacuums that date all the way back to 1905. If you’re not into vacuums, you can just appreciate the weirdness of it all.

Portland Farmers Market
There are two main markets that happen every weekend in Portland. The Farmer’s Market is a great place to browse fresh produce. We did some grocery shopping here the first week we were in town, and we will probably pick up our veggies and kimchi here in the future.

Portland Saturday Market
I heard someone describe the Portland Saturday Market as the place to go to buy your Che Guevara shirts made in China. Though I didn’t find anything I would purchase here, I thought it was nice because they had live music, and you could hang out by the waterfront.

Powell's City of Books
Powell’s is the largest independent bookstore and a cornerstone of Portland. Any book lover needs to stop by. The hard part making this a free experience is having to resist buying more books

Multnomah County Central Library
I love it when libraries are housed in beautiful buildings. Enjoy the architecture then go in and browse the books.

Witch's Castle
You can take a short hike to Witches Castle in Forest Park. Rumor it that it’s haunted!

Keller Fountain Park
Gotta be honest. I didn’t think much of it, when I heard about the Ira Keller fountain, but it was really beautiful seeing it in person.
