Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Portland (PDX) generally takes one connection from eastern Canada, through Toronto or a US hub such as Chicago, Denver, Seattle or Minneapolis depending on your departure city. If you connect in the United States you will clear US customs at your first American stop, so leave enough time. Nonstop service is rare, so most trips involve a single change of planes.
What to see and do

- Visiting the International Rose Test Garden and Japanese Garden
- Exploring food carts and the Saturday Market
- Taking a day trip to the Columbia River Gorge waterfalls
Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken; note there is no state sales tax in Oregon. The city has a walkable core with a handy MAX light rail (which runs right from the airport), streetcar and bus system, and Uber and Lyft are easy for late nights, so you can skip a rental car in town; a car helps for day trips to the Gorge or Mount Hood, though under-25 drivers often pay a young-driver surcharge. Tipping is customary in restaurants and bars.
