The city
Largest city in Maine, on a peninsula in Casco Bay; not the Portland in Oregon. The Old Port features cobblestone streets and 19th-century brick warehouses, with seafood restaurants along the waterfront. On top of Munjoy Hill stands the Portland Observatory, and downtown houses the Portland Museum of Art. To the south, in Cape Elizabeth, Portland Head Light rises above the rocks. Ferries depart from the pier to the bay’s islands.

The local experience
The oldest lighthouse in Maine, first lit in 1791 on the rocks of Cape Elizabeth at the entrance to Casco Bay. It’s located in Fort Williams Park, with seaside paths and a museum in the lighthouse keeper’s house.
The old port neighborhood of Portland, with cobblestone streets and brick warehouses rebuilt after the 1866 fire, now home to shops, restaurants and the fishing piers.
A wooden signal tower from 1807 on Munjoy Hill, used to warn the port of arriving ships with flags. It is the only surviving tower of this type in the country, with views over Casco Bay.
The oldest and largest art museum in Maine, in Congress Square, with American and European art and a Winslow Homer collection—he painted the state’s coast.
