What's the perfect Portland day? If you're a local, what places keep you coming back? Or if you're trying to show visitors around, where would you take them?

A Redditor who plans to visit Portland asked the question "What would your perfect day in Portland be?" seeking for ideas of what to do and where to eat and drink on a one-day stop in the city.

The responses from Portland Redditors focused on two options: explore the city and explore Oregon.

Some ideas included driving down the Columbia River Gorge, visiting the coast or experiencing Oregon's state parks and scenery. Others provided more city-centric advice, including bike rides and breweries.

Here are some of the highlights of the conversation:
