Powell's City of Books
Powell's City of Books is a book lover's paradise, the largest used and new bookstore in the world. Located in downtown Portland, Oregon and occupying an entire city block, the City stocks more than a million new and used books. Nine color coded rooms house over 3,500 different sections, offering something for every interest, including an incredible selection of out-of-print and hard-to-find titles.
Be sure to grab a map – the store takes up an entire city block and it’s easy to get lost among 1 million books.

Must see!
Powell's was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Portland! I will never look at Barnes & Noble the same way. Multiple floors filled with both well-known, just released titles as well as a great selection of used books. I'd never been in a bookstore that needed a MAP to show you where to go to get to the right section! Crazy, but so great. Definitely a must-see!

Best bookstore ever
I can spend a whole day at Powell's books. If you are a book lover, and even if you aren't - this is a must-see.
They have maps of the bookstore, which I would recommend because if you are not familiar with the store - you will get lost!
