Downtown Portland's Outdoor Sculptures: A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Portland's downtown is dotted with outdoor sculptures. Some immense and famous, some hidden in plain sight. The outdoor sculptures of Portland exemplify Portland's unique character, charm, and history in a number of ways. Take a self-guided GPS audio walk and discover Portland in a new and interesting way! Downtown Portland is a busy place on a weekday, but people are friendly. You may run into street musicians, homeless people, food carts, and more! The tour starts in the middle of Pioneer Square, known as "Portland's Living Room." The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.
