Transportation
There is no need to rent a car for the weekend. Out of towners can catch the Red Line from PDX airport and jump off at the Galleria / SW 10th stop. This is the first stop after Pioneer Square pictured below.Portland is a walking town and parking downtown is expensive and can be difficult.Fun fact, Portland capped parking spaces in 1975.
