This major street is in the downtown area and we spent time here getting a sense of what the center of town was all about. We saw some art and some shops and a bunch of places to eat.

Murals everywhere. You could regard this place as one of the hipster neighborhoods. The place was safe and a lot of shops and restaurants were available along the street.

Not what was described on trip advisor. Perhaps it was nice a long time ago but not anymore. Restaurants had limited hours and streets felt dirty.

We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. The Alberta Arts District emerged as one of our favorites; we enjoyed the many local business on Alberta Avenue, including some great art stores and home stores. Lots of good coffee available, too. The street art on the sides of several buildings was compelling and offered wonderful messages of social justice and compelling photo opportunities. This neighborhood is definitely worth a few hours when visiting Portland!

Alberta Street was a food and street art gem. Lots of varieties to offer from street food to cafes to small eateries with Ethiopian, Nepalese, American, Mexican and more. Little shops with a mix of clothing to unique souvenirs and art work. Plan to browse for a few hours.
