Frequently Asked Questions
At the waterfront cruise pier on the south bank of the Columbia, within walking distance of the historic centre. The riverfront trolley runs past the old cannery warehouses and covers the rest.
A steel bridge more than six kilometres long spanning the mouth of the Columbia, so long it vanishes into the mist before reaching the far shore. It is the first image of the call, and it sets the scale.
Because it was founded in 1811 as a fur trading post on behalf of John Jacob Astor, which lets it claim the title of oldest American settlement west of the Rockies.
The pile-built waterfront with its cafés, workshops and microbreweries, the Columbia River Maritime Museum, then the hill of Victorian houses. Anyone who likes climbing goes up the Astoria Column for the view over the river mouth.
Because they take over the marina docks, noisily and by the hundred in some months, to the despair of the boat owners. It is the call's free and unintended attraction.
It has a solid reputation among sailors for its formidable sand bars, where the river that opened the American West meets the Pacific. Local pilots board every ship that crosses.
That of a fishing port reinvented without denying itself: a mix of dock workers, artists and retirees, in cannery warehouses turned into cafés and studios. This is not a showcase town.
The US dollar, cards accepted everywhere. Good news for shopping: Oregon levies no sales tax, so the shelf price is the price you pay.
Yes. The sea lions, the riverfront trolley and the maritime museum make an effective trio. The town is steep: save some energy for the climb to the Victorian houses.
May through October, peaking in September with the West Coast repositioning calls. Mist is part of the landscape almost year-round: a windbreaker still earns its place in August.
