9. Portland International Airport
Step into Portland International Airport (PDX), and you might just forget you’re in an airport at all. With its stunning new terminal wrapped in warm timber, bathed in natural light, and filled with over 5,000 lush plants, PDX feels more like a serene Pacific Northwest forest than a travel hub.
The beautiful lattice wood roof, sustainable design, and calming atmosphere have earned it a top spot among the world’s most beautiful airports. Whether you’re arriving or departing, PDX turns the typical airport experience into something truly soothing, green, and unforgettable; a true reflection of Oregon’s natural charm.
