Streets squares and districts to visit Côte Ouest Etats-Unis

Jump on and hang on to the oldest and most famous cable car! From Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf, you'll be rolling down the hills of San Francisco in 20 minutes. It is the most famous tourist attraction of the city with the Golden Gate Bridge, mostly used for tourists, because it is very expensive. You can buy your ticket directly from the driver. Interesting suggestion: take it one station after Powell Station, in Union Square, to avoid the long waiting line

Here you are in the heart of the city, in what the locals call their "living room". The square attracts the entire city, which comes to attend the numerous concerts and festivals that are taking place there. The tourist office is also installed there. The involvement of the inhabitants played a major role in the creation of this place. In 1951, The Portland Hotel was destroyed (built in 1890) and the area remains fallow for years. In 1980, S's wanted to build a car park. Petitions are circulating against this project and red bricks at USD 25 per unit are bought by residents, to build a place instead of parking. The names of the donors who contributed to this development are engraved on these bricks. From the hotel, there is only the large portal of wrought iron. You can read the history of the square at the bottom of Pioneer Square. Around the square is Pioneer Courthouse (1875), the oldest building in Portland, and still its current court of justice. There will also be 25 bronze statues, representing Oregon's wildlife and carried out by Gerber Georgia. Beaver, deer, otters, cubs in the square.
