A gem among U.S. cities, Portland in summer offers comfortable temperatures (averages range from the low 50s to high 70s), 37,000 acres of parks to explore, and a booming arts and culture scene. New to the city, the Portland Aerial Tram gives visitors a cool birds-eye view of the skyline and mountains. For a visit with extra value, consider the Portland Big Deal promotion, which includes lodging, parking, daily breakfast, and dining and shopping discounts.
