It’s no secret that a huge part of what keeps national and international visitors coming back to Oregon is our fantastic tax-free shopping, and that is especially true for Portland. Many people prefer to enjoy boutique shops and independent designers, and they are most delighted by a shopping experience that is as charming as it is fruitful.
Portland’s Nob Hill is one of the most charming areas in the city (explore Northwest 23rd and 21st Avenues - Northwest 22nd is residential). The avenues are tree-lined and many shops are inside historic Victorian-style houses. There are many wonderful spots to stop and enjoy a coffee, glass of wine, happy hour or treat along the way – more on that to follow soon!
If you are a resident of Portland or the surrounding areas, an afternoon spent exploring this neighborhood is sure to be a chance for you to revel in so much of what makes Portland great. Relax, have fun and up your fashion game in true Oregon style!
