Portland Attractions & City Passes
How a city attraction pass works
A city attraction pass bundles admission to several of a city's top sights into one ticket you buy once. The big passes — CityPASS, Go City and The Sightseeing Pass — each cover a different set of attractions and price differently, and what they include changes over time. That is why this page never prints a price or a fixed bundle: we show you the cited attractions and link you to the provider for live pricing, so you compare against the sights you actually want to see.

The city is known for its beautiful gardens, historic landmarks, interactive science centers, and acclaimed art museums. With a metro area population of approximately 2.5 million, Portland offers a vibrant mix of indoor and outdoor experiences for travelers of all interests. The region also provides easy access to four nearby National Park Service sites, making it a gateway to both urban culture and natural landscapes.
Many of Portland's major attractions can be bundled together through a multi-attraction city pass, allowing visitors to purchase a single ticket covering several venues rather than buying individual admissions. This approach can simplify planning and streamline entry to popular destinations. For details on which attractions are currently included in available passes, pricing options, and how to purchase, visitors should check directly with the pass provider's website, where up-to-date information on offerings and rates is maintained.
