A must go place if you want to know what to do in Portland. It’s one of the most beautiful visitor centres of a city 🏙️. It was a delight to talk to Gabby. She was very welcoming and enthusiastic. They have Portland stamps and free stickers too.

What a fantastic resource. I spoke with Leslie, who is a veritable fount of information. I have just recently moved here and she took the time to go over many wonderful attractions in Portland. I'm so glad that I stopped in here and received more information than I could have hoped for. I am now very excited to start enjoying Portland even more! Thank you Leslie and Portland Visitor Center. I would also like to point out that there is a wealth of brochures and magazines for the needy tourist. Everything you ever wanted to know about Portland you can find here!

My husband and I stopped in this morning, and wow—what a little gem! Dez was extremely knowledgable, kind, and helpful. It’s our first time in Portland and the first time we’re using public transportation. He went above and beyond to give us great recommendations, tips on navigating the city, and even drew on a map for us. We were blown away. Dez, thank you for helping us find some great stops for our honeymoon. You were the best first impression of Portland we could have asked for! - the finger lime people

We were visiting Portland with a kid. Aaron gave us very good advice of places to visit even outside the more common routes. Enjoyed them a lot. There is also area for the kids, so they can play while we ask for info. Recommend to make this the first stop of your visit to Portland
