Portland, OR Getaway Roundtrip from San Francisco, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this 5-day, 4-night getaway roundtrip from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon, aboard the Coast Starlight in Coach class, with 2 of the 4 nights spent onboard the train. Once in Portland, described in the evidence as a walker's paradise of urban parks, museums, and historic sites, 2 nights of hotel accommodations serve as a base for a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour that stops at the Chinese Garden, the River Waterfront, and Washington Park, known for its rose gardens. That tour runs June through October; outside those months, admission to the Oregon Historical Society is substituted instead. Because the operator does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or name a specific hotel, exact timing of the sightseeing is left to the traveler. This package suits travelers who want the rail journey and the city stay bundled into one fare from San Francisco.
