10 Most Underrated U.S. Cities | huffingtonpost.com
Portland, OR
“Portland is a fantastic jumping-off point for a Pacific Northwest vacation – with proximity to the Oregon coast, Mount Hood, and Willamette Valley wine country – but there’s much to see in the city limits too, as the “City of Roses” boasts beauty and culture aplenty. A stop at the Portland Art Museum is a must for art enthusiasts, as is the monthly First Thursdays tour when downtown galleries stay open late. Portland boasts more breweries per capita than any other city in the U.S.—more than 70 in the metropolitan area. The promise of tax-free shopping, plus the bustling Saturday outdoor food and arts market (from late March to December), means plenty of retail therapy in this underrated city, too.”
