Portland is weird! And they’re rather proud of it. To the point that “Keep Portland Weird” is their unofficial motto, found plastered around the city on street signs, street graffiti, and bumper stickers. Portland loves eccentricity, individuality, and creativity—that, and the fact that it's a progressive haven for hippies, bohemians, the dispossessed, and, of course, LGBTQ+ people. Everyone and anyone is welcome in Portland—you don’t have to be weird, but it helps!

The quirky, offbeat city has a scenic location on the Northwest coast of the United States, just 60 miles from the Pacific Ocean, where the Columbia and Willamette Rivers converge. Framed by dense forests, fertile valleys, volcanic peaks like Mount Hood, and the dramatic Cascade Range, it's the perfect base for nature-loving day-trippers and adventure sports enthusiasts. Nature doesn’t just surround it though—it’s part of the city’s core, with urban parks blanketing parts of the city, like the Portland Japanese Garden and International Rose Test Garden—not to mention Portland has a record breaking amount of vegan cafés and restaurants. 

There’s plenty to do for visitors spread across its four diverse districts. In Portland you’ll find the world’s largest indie bookstore, microbreweries, art museums, niche restaurants, and an endless array of offbeat shops, music venues, and pop-up events. The gay scene isn’t limited to one area either with gay bars and queer owned businesses aplenty,- although Downtown is where you’ll find the most action. 

Portland is all about being yourself and celebrating individuality. Go for the scenery, stay for the weird—because in Portland, everyone has a place.

General Tips

The weather isn't exactly Portland’s main selling point. In fact outside of July,August and September you’re likely to encounter rain – so bring an umbrella. But don’t let that put you off. The best time to visit is still late spring through early fall when the weather is mild and the city’s outdoor events come alive. Portland Pride usually takes place in June and draws crowds from all over the region, but you’ll also find a calendar packed with drag brunches, queer art shows, and inclusive festivals year-round. 

The city’s inclusive spirit extends to people from all financial situations as Portland is very budget friendly to visit – especially for the States. It doesn’t have a centralized gayborhood, but that just means the queer scene is spread throughout—whether you're hitting up a cozy bar on Alberta Street, exploring vintage shops on Hawthorne, or dancing the night away downtown.

Something to know about the city layout is it's set out in what Portlanders call “quadrants”. Northwest (Forest Park and Slabtown), Northeast (Hollywood Theater and Alberta Arts District), Southeast (Mount Tabor, Division and Hawthorne) and Southwest (Downtown and Multnomah Village). 

Airport Transfer and Transportation

Navigating Portland is simple, thanks to its efficient and user-friendly public transportation system. Upon arrival at Portland International Airport (PDX), the most convenient way to reach the city center is via the MAX Light Rail's Red Line. The station is located on the lower level of the airport, adjacent to the baggage claim area. Trains depart approximately every 15 minutes, and a ticket costs $2.80 for a 40-minute ride to downtown Portland. 

Once in the city, TriMet operates an extensive network of buses, the MAX Light Rail, and the Portland Streetcar, making it easy to explore various neighborhoods without a car. An adult fare is $2.80 for a 2.5-hour pass, or $5.60 for a day pass, offering unlimited rides within that time frame. For those who prefer cycling, Portland's bike-friendly infrastructure and miles of bike lanes make it a two-wheeled paradise.​ Portland is also a very walkable city with bridges connecting the different districts.
