Salem Area Visitor Guide 2011

Visitor information for the city of Salem and two-county region

Welcome to Salem, Marion County and Polk County! As Oregon’s capital city, Salem has an urban flair that is complemented by the Willamette River’s recreational opportunities, parks and natural areas; and the Union Street Railroad Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge that provides a half-mile link connecting trails and a family friendly network of sights with two large urban parks.

Their unique character can be found throughout the region in historic downtowns, museums, galleries, eateries, shops and events. You will find lush vibrant scenery at every turn accompanied by outstanding hospitality.
