The city of Eugene is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, in the state of Oregon. While a modestly sized city (population 155,000), it is home to the University of Oregon, an iconoclasitic culture, and a vibrant art scene. Eugene saddles the rugged Pacific coast and the Cascade Mountains.

 

Situated at the southern end of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Eugene is known as “The World’s Greatest City of the Arts and Outdoors.” Whether exploring the shops, museums, and galleries in downtown, strolling along the river-front bike path, or taking a self guided brewery tour, Eugene has something for everyone. Home to the University of Oregon, Eugene is the quintessential college town, attracting students and visitors from around the world.
