Getting to Know: Neighborhoods in Brief
|
 |
|
This term usually refers to the business and shopping district south of Burnside and north of Jackson Street between the Willamette River and 13th Avenue. Within this area, you'll find a dozen or more high-end hotels, dozens of restaurants of all types, and loads of shopping (including the major department stores). Within downtown's Cultural District (along Broadway and the South Park Blocks), you'll also find most of the city's performing arts venues and a couple of museums.
For the sake of convenience, we have defined downtown Portland as the 300-block area within the Fareless Square. This is the area in which you can ride for free on the city's public buses and the MAX light-rail system. In downtown, the Fareless Square is bounded by I-405 on the west and south, by Hoyt Street on the north, and by the Willamette River on the east.
