About this Guide

Organizing your time. Thats what this guide is all about.

Other guides give you long lists of things to see and do and then expect you to fit the pieces together. The Day by Day guides are different. These guides tell you the best of everything, and then they show you how to see it in the smartest, most time-efficient way . Our authors have designed detailed itineraries organized by time, neighborhood, or special interest. And each tour comes with a bulleted map that takes you from stop to stop.

Planning a first-time trip to Portland with the kids? Looking for great ways to explore the Rose City by bike? Or maybe you want to know how to get the most out of the city even on a rainy Pacific Northwest day. Whatever your interest or schedule, the Day by Days give you the smartest routes to follow. Not only do we take you to the top attractions, hotels, and restaurants, but we also help you access those special moments that locals get to experiencethose finds that turn tourists into travelers.

The Day by Days are also your top choice if youre looking for one complete guide for all your travel needs. The best hotels and restaurants for every budget, the greatest shopping values, the wildest nightlifeits all here.

Why should you trust our judgment? Because our authors personally visit each place they write about. Theyre an independent lot who say what they think and would never include places they wouldnt recommend to their best friends. Theyre also open to suggestions from readers. If youd like to contact them, please send your comments our way at Support@FrommerMedia.com, and well pass them on.

Enjoy your Day by Day guidethe most helpful travel companion you can buy. And have the trip of a lifetime.
