A restored trolley also runs along the riverfront, past attractions like the Columbia River Maritime Museum and historic piers filled with shops and restaurants. Picturesque Victorian homes dot the hillside above the town and the restored Flavel House mansion offers a glimpse at the city‘s historic past. Above the town, the Astoria Column features panoramic views of the region.
