Downtown Portland, Central business district on Willamette River's west bank, Portland, United States.

Downtown Portland extends from the Willamette River to Interstate 405, featuring narrow streets, compact city blocks, and numerous high-rise office buildings.

The neighborhood underwent major transformation in the 1970s through urban revitalization efforts, including the construction of Interstate 405 and Pioneer Courthouse Square in 1984.

The Portland Art Museum, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, and multiple theaters provide year-round exhibitions, performances, and cultural events for residents and visitors.

The MAX Light Rail system and Portland Streetcar connect downtown with adjacent districts through multiple routes, while nine bridges span across the Willamette River.

Pioneer Courthouse Square functions as the central gathering space, hosting over 300 events throughout the year with a capacity for 10,000 people.
