Stumptown Coffee
Named after Portland’s nickname, Stumptown Coffee is one of the original coffee companies based here that helped establish Portland as a coffee destination.
Food Cartlandia
You have already heard about the usual Portland food staples — donuts and coffee — but how about trying something truly unique? Some of Portland’s best eats are from food carts, and many are right here on the PSU campus.
Bridgetown
One of Portland’s nicknames is Bridgetown because we have so many bridges (12 to be exact). Tilikum Crossing, Portland’s newest bridge, carries light rail, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians over the Willamette River.

The park at the center of events, community, and all things Portland. Every year, Pioneer Square hosts more than 300 events a year bringing in 11 million visitors.

The Portland Art Museum is our neighbor on the Park Blocks. It’s one of the oldest art museums in the nation and the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. Take a trip across the river to visit OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry, for some science-filled fun.
Forest Park
If you’re outdoorsy, you don’t even need to leave the city to get into the wilderness. At 5,200 acres, Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks in the nation — with more than 80 miles of trails for walking, running, and biking. You can even get there on public transit.
