A place like no other near Portland in Oregon
Powell’s City of Books is a must-visit, even if you’re not a big reader. It’s an enormous bookstore that takes up an entire city block. Standing four floors tall, it’s so huge that you’ll need a map to navigate through it.
As you explore the bookshop, remember that you’re following in the footsteps of renowned writers. Some of them, such as Ursula K. Le Guin and Neil Gaiman, have left their signatures on the pillars of this building. If you plan your visit well, you may even catch a reading event. The bookshop organizes these events almost daily, with over 500 author visits scheduled each year.
