Visiting Oregon in June - Advice on Transportation and Must-See Spots

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend and I will be visiting Oregon in early June as part of a trip from Italy. We’ll arrive in Portland and plan to spend around 5 days in the state before heading to California.

Our main stops will be: • Astoria: To visit the iconic locations of The Goonies. • Brownsville: To explore the filming locations of Stand By Me.

I’d love to know if these locations are reachable by public transportation, or if renting a car is the most practical option.

We’re both passionate about movies and books, so if you have any other must-see suggestions in Oregon (or along the way to these destinations), I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks so much for your help!
