No matter how you slice it—by car, plane, bus or train—the 535-mile trip from Portland to San Francisco is easy and (relatively) painless, you just have to decide how much time you’re willing to spend. For leisure-travel, the Coast Starlight, one of the country’s most memorable train routes, is well worth the 18-hour journey. If your time is limited, a commercial flight will get you to San Francisco or Oakland non-stop in about an hour-and-a-half. Or, split the difference on a road trip. The drive from Portland to San Francisco down Interstate 5 is 10-11 hours of lush PNW and Northern California scenery.  RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in San Francisco
