Portland boasts the cultural attractions of a much larger city while retaining a friendly, smalltown atmosphere. The brick and cobblestone streets of the the Old Port are lined with artisans’ shops, galleries and boutiques, and fishermen still unload their catch on the working waterfront.

Whether you prefer the unique boutiques of the Old Port, or easy access to Maine’s largest Mall with National stores, or a trip to Freeport to enjoy Maine’s most famous outfitter L.L. Bean, the Greater Portland region has shopping opportunities for every taste.

Portland is home to spectator sports including hockey, baseball and basketball sports teams, a symphony orchestra, multiple theatre companies, and the Portland Museum of Art, one of the best art museums in New England.

The city has become a foodie destination with a wide range of culinary offerings, from the renowned lobster roll to fine dining. Maine chefs have earned accolades from James Beard to Maine Lobster Chef of the Year for innovative preparation of our fresh seafood, and locally procured produce. Harvest on the Harbor, Maine’s Premier Food and Wine Experience, is the Greater Portland Convention & Visitors Bureau’s toast to Maine’s culinary arts. This three day event brings together local creative chefs, locally grown and harvested foods, and the excellence of Maine products - a perfect opportunity to experience the flavors of Maine, all on the magnificent coast during the beautiful harvest season.

Perfect for a family getaway Portland offers children an exploratory experience at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine and the Portland Observatory. Greater Portland is also home to four lighthouses, the most famous of these being the picturesque Portland Headlight and museum, commissioned in 1791 by George Washington.

Enjoy a day on Casco Bay visiting islands with the Casco Bay Ferries, relax on a traditional vintage schooner or windjammer, take a whale watch cruise or try hauling lobster in a real lobster boat - all from the center of downtown Portland.
