Local tips

A few pointers from our on-the-ground team.

  • Hop on a bike

    Eugene is a bike-friendly city with plenty of rental options. Ride the scenic 12-mile riverside path along the Willamette River. It’s the best way to explore downtown.
  • Plan ahead on game days

    Game days at Autzen Stadium transform the city. Hotels fill, traffic crawls, and spirits run high. Plan accordingly.
  • Go south for less busy wineries

    The Willamette Valley wineries south of Eugene are less crowded than the Dundee Hills but every bit as good. Start with King Estate and Sweet Cheeks.
  • Don’t miss Saturday Market

    Saturday Market is more than a farmers market. It is the heart of local culture. Plan a Saturday morning around it.
  • Check air quality first

    Summer wildfire smoke can settle in the valley. Check air quality before committing to outdoor days.
  • Park free evenings & Sundays

    Downtown parking is free evenings and all-day Sunday. The parking garages at Broadway and Park are the easy plays on busy nights.
