About Eugene
Home to the University of Oregon and a number of private colleges, Eugene is a lively little city brimming with cultural and outdoorsy attractions. Surrounded by leafy forests and hills, with the Willamette River running through the city itself, Eugene is a wonderful Oregon destination for adventurers, as well as lovers of the arts. Accommodation options range from intimate inns to chic city hotels, fit for an array of tastes and budgets. Most of the best places to stay in Eugene are clustered around the city centre, within walking distance of the river.
Amble around downtown Eugene to spot street art and enjoy regular cultural events, before venturing to the market district for fabulous shops, cafés and gourmet eateries showcasing the region’s famous farm-to-table produce. 5th Street Public Market is the top place to shop. The neighbouring Whiteaker area, close to the Willamette River, is known for its artsy, creative vibe — as well as its many breweries, urban wineries and distilleries. On the University of Oregon campus, you’ll find the Jordan Schnitzer Museum, the Museum of Natural & Cultural History and the Autzen Stadium. Student-led walking tours are a great way to get a sense of college life.
Dubbed ‘TrackTown USA’, Eugene is criss-crossed with excellent running trails, as well as scenic cycling paths. Follow the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path System — including well-known Pre’s Trail — or head out on the water for kayaking, fishing and boat trips around Alton Baker Park. Eager hikers can expect expansive views from atop Spencer Butte and Skinner Butte.
Venture further into the Willamette Valley for wildlife spotting, horse riding and more hiking, cycling and rock climbing, or make for the Cascade Mountains to ski during the winter months. The best places to stay in Eugene await!
