What is the best time to visit Portland?
Ideally, you could travel to Portland at any time during the year. However, the majority of tourists choose to visit during the peak season (June and August). During this time, the town observes warm temperatures, which is perfect for visiting Lan Su Chinese Garden or Forest Park. If you’re planning a packet-friendly trip, we’d recommend exploring the town during the shoulder season (March to May). From September to November, Portland observes the snowy winters, so it is a good time to visit if you wish to have an icy adventure!
