The World's 5 Best Places to Live In

2. Portland, Oregon:

Portland has been the capital of liberal U.S.A. for decades. The place is a home from home to anyone from Europe. Cyclists are loved, not despised. The city has the highest number of microbreweries in the world. The weather here is marked by warm, dry summers and wet but mild winters. Portland has been considered as one of the most environmentally friendly and green cities in the world. The city is also well known for its coffee enthusiasm.

Strangely again for the U.S., cycle and walk without abuse, the most bike and foot-friendly city in the country, packed with proper cycle routes (15 minutes to downtown from the north side). The indulgent hang out place here is the Grand Central Bakery, in an old scrap metal yard.
