Portland is a bustling city in Maine, with a creative culinary scene as well as a rich history of agriculture, craftsmanship and seafaring. The scenic Old Port waterfront with its cobblestoned streets is lined with boutiques, art galleries and some of the city’s best restaurants and bars. Art enthusiasts can visit the Portland Museum of Art in the famed Arts District, while leisure lovers can stroll the Eastern Promenade Park, which offers spectacular views of the harbour and Casco Bay. The Portland Farmer’s Market is a hub where cheesemakers, beekeepers, berry farmers, bakers, and wildflower florists set up stalls to sell their wares. The Allagash Brewing Company holds credit for introducing a vibrant craft beer movement to the city. Portland is also home to the Portland Head Light, a beautiful lighthouse dating back to 1791, surrounded by acres of coastal hiking paths, gardens and a beach.
