  • Portland - Welcome to Maine’s largest city, extending out from the peninsula into Casco Bay. Follow our journey through Portland to see the city’s top spots to explore.
    When ready, browse vacation packages to Portland: www.expedia.com/Portland.d181...
    #Portland is renowned for its many nearby outdoor adventures, its large downtown arts district and vibrant food scene. Part of Portland’s great charm is also its working waterfront. Your #vacation may begin by exploring Commercial Street and the many wharves and piers.
    #Tour the ornate rooms of Victoria Mansion and visit the historic home of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, one of America’s most beloved poets. #Visit the Portland Museum of Art. Many of the artists whose works feature here were inspired by Portland’s coastline, including one of the giants of American Art, Winslow Homer.
    Peer through the gun ports of Historic Fort Preble in South Portland. #Explore Spring Point Ledge Light, one of the smaller of Maine’s 57 active lighthouses; on Cape Elizabeth, stands one of New England’s most beautiful, Portland Head Light.
    Portland is a wonderful city by the sea with great day trip opportunities to nearby Scarborough, Saco, Cape Porpoise and Kennebunkport.
    For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

    I'm from Croatia/Europe and last year I visited Portland Maine. Have a friend there, in South Portland. I'm in love with that city. Food is excelent, people so nice, craft beers, nice beach, nature... just beautiful. I hope next year will come again and take a beer in Irish Pub Ri Ra, take dosens of donuts in Holy Donut... :-)

      I'm so glad you fell on love with the greatest city on Earth, Portland!! When you return (as long as it's not in the winter) take your treats from Holy Donut and take it to the garden behind the Longfellow House on Congress Street. Tourists and even most locals don't know this place exists and it's very special. If you need suggestions on restaurants let me know. We have more restaurants per capita than any other American city.

      Visit Portland and the Rockland area for the great restaurants. Visit the coast for the scenery. Stay away from extreme southern Maine as it is a tourist trap. The town of Old Orchard Beach has the best beach. Don’t ask for directions because Mainers will give you wrong directions most of the time. Maine is very safe but don’t pull u turns in driveways. We hate that almost as much as giving directions.
