Located on the northwestern tip of Oregon is the beautiful city of Astoria. Full of history, beautiful scenery, great restaurants, unique shops, and more, this wonderful town is a fantastic place to visit.
The town of Astoria (population 9,500) is located right at the mouth of the Columbia River -- and it's absolutely spectacular.
This area just so happens to be the site of the oldest European settlement in the state. History buffs will love checking out all the historical landmarks here. One great place to visit is the Fort Clatsop Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.
Throughout town you'll find many wonderful mom & pop restaurants, including the renowned Bowpicker Fish & Chips, where you can buy hot, fresh, mouthwateringly delicious fish and chips from a cute vintage boat.
With so much to do and see, you might want to stay overnight. There are lots of great places to stay the night, including Hotel Elliott, the Cannery Pier Hotel, Astoria Riverwalk Inn, and more.
