Begin your morning in Oregon’s Emerald City with a hot cup of coffee
or fresh juice and some fresh pastries at The Beanery downtown. Take a
relaxing stroll to the bustling Saturday Market, the oldest weekly open
air crafts festival in the U.S. Spend some time taking in the sights, smells
and fine handmade crafts sold by local artisans. Enjoy the beauty of the
Eugene-Springfield metro area with one of our new walking tours or by trying
out Lane Transit District’s new, electric-diesel hybrid EmX bus line.
Head south on Interstate 5 to the communities of Cottage Grove, Creswell
and Lowell for a self-guided tour of the largest collection of covered
bridges west of the Mississippi River, built between 1925 to 1987. Surrounded
by the bounty of several of Lane County’s wineries, you’ll
have no problem keeping yourself busy with tastings and tours of the delicious
varietals of local winemakers waiting to tempt your palate. In the evening,
head back to Eugene to the newly renovated 5th Street Public Market for
a stylish dinner at Marché, known for its commitment to excellence
and seasonal culinary delights.
In the morning, have a nice breakfast at Keystone Cafe, one of Eugene’s
many restaurants. How will you spend the rest of your day? Maybe you’d
like to explore the sand dunes, championship golf courses or world-famous
Sea Lion Caves at the Oregon Coast in Florence, just an hour from the Eugene-Springfield
metro area. Perhaps a day of mountain biking, hiking, rafting or other
outdoor adventures in the nearby McKenzie River Valley or Cascade Mountains
regions appeal to you. No matter what you decide to do, you can see and
do it all right here in beautiful Lane County.
