Directions to the World Trade Center Theatre

For directions to the theatre by public transit, by bicycle, by car or on foot, click on the blue marker in the map above, then click on "directions" at the bottom of the details bubble.

Theatre Entrance

The main entrance is behind the events office, on the northwest corner of Naito and Salmon, marked on the map with a blue marker. The theater is on the 3rd floor, or Bridge Level, and can be reached by stairs or elevator. The accessible entrance is on the west side of the street-level vestibule.

You can also access the theater via the sky bridge - entrances are on SW 2nd just north of Salmon, and SW 1st just south of Salmon.

Arriving by Public Transit?

The theater is within a few minutes' walk of all four train lines, and the myriad of buses that stop on the transit mall downtown. Visit TriMet's website to plan your trip.

Arriving by Bike?

There is a bike rack near the main entrance, but you might find it filled up by our cast and crew. If that's the case, there is another large rack at the far end of the main sky bridge - on the corner of 2nd and Salmon. A detailed map (pdf) of downtown bike routes and parking can be found at Portland Online.

Arriving by Car?

There is a two-floor underground parking structure underneath the theater, marked on the map with a red marker. The entrance is on SW Taylor Street, which can be accessed from either direction of SW Naito Parkway. The price changes occasionally, based on demand, but is usually $4.00.

Street parking is also available around the theater. Parking meter hours are until 7pm Monday-Saturday, and 1pm to 7pm on Sunday.

Please note that this area also hosts a number of festivals and events, and there are sometimes minor traffic detours as a result. If you are driving, please allow extra time during festival and event weekends to find parking. You can check for events at the Travel Portland Event Calendar, and for street closures at Portland Online.
