Commonly called the "City of Roses," Portland, Oregon is renowned for its numerous gardens--including the Portland Japanese Garden, Portland Classical Chinese Garden, and the International Rose Test Garden. Contrary to its name, though, the Rose Garden Arena hosts the Portland Trail Blazers NBA team. The city also boasts beauty in the arts with institutions such as the Oregon Symphony and Oregon Ballet Theatre calling Portland their home.
