Charming bookstores, glorious mansions and ocean views as far as the eye can see are just part of what draws visitors to Portland, Maine. The Old Port waterfront features working fishing wharves and warehouses transformed into wonderful restaurants where you can savor freshly caught lobsters, crabs and clams all while sipping on a delightful arrangement of micro-brewed beers.
Not to be missed is a visit to the Maine Historical Society’s beautifully restored 1789 Wadsworth-Longfellow House and Gardens, the Maine Historical Society Museum and Brown Library, a three-in-one cultural bonanza, all just a short stroll from the city center.
If it’s water sports you’re after, hop on a scenic cruise or whale watching tour as the sun sets over this unforgettable city.
