Portland is Maine’s largest city and its commercial center, set on a peninsula in Casco Bay with a working waterfront of fishing boats, ferries and seafood dealers. The Old Port’s brick and cobblestone streets hold an outsized restaurant, brewery and bakery scene that has made the city a national food destination. Beyond tourism, the economy includes healthcare at Maine Medical Center, financial services, marine industries and companies such as IDEXX Laboratories in nearby Westbrook.
Portland is about two hours from Boston by car and roughly five to six from New York, with heavy summer traffic on I-95 into Maine. The Portland International Jetport sits just a few miles from downtown, and flying private lets you arrive on your own schedule and continue directly up the coast to Rockland, Bar Harbor or the islands. Visitors come for lobster rolls and oysters, the Portland Museum of Art, ferry rides to the Casco Bay islands, the lighthouses of Cape Elizabeth and shopping in Freeport and the Old Port.

Top attractions
Things to do in Portland
When to go. Summer is Portland’s high season, with warm days on the water, harbor cruises and ferries to the islands, and restaurants and hotels filling quickly. September and October bring mild weather, harvest menus and fall foliage inland. Winters are cold and snowy but the dining scene stays lively, and spring arrives gradually, with fog along the coast. Book well ahead for July and August.
