Portland people are known for being weird and unique. Everyone knows that we like beer and Voodoo Donuts. And although all of these things are true, there is one thing that people forget: we can be incredibly romantic. We truly cherish the loved ones in our life and like to spend most of our time finding fun things to do with them. Listed here are some of the most romantic things to do in Portland:
- See a concert.
Yelp/McMenamins Edgefield At McMenamins Edgefield, you can see your favorite band while laying on a blanket in an open field under the serene Oregon sky.
- Go dancing.
Facebook/Aztec Willie’s Taquiera Every Friday there’s a salsa dancing class Aztec Willie’s Taquiera, and it’s the perfect excuse to get hot and heavy with your beau.
- KIVA Tea Cafe & Spa
Yelp/KIVA Come here for delicious tea and an always necessary spa day. They offer everything from tranquil massages to revitalizing facials.

Facebook/Paley’s Place There are so many delicious fine dining restaurants in Portland; and although they may take a big bite out of your wallet, they are more than worth it. Paley’s Place is one of the many to choose from, and if you go you have to try foie gras!
