Portland's Old Port has been restored to 19th-century splendor, with cobbled streets and beautiful Victorian brick buildings housing an eclectic mix of restaurants, microbreweries, art galleries, boutiques, and specialty shops. Enjoy views of Casco Bay while dining, or browse through the quaint shops selling crafts, antiques, and Maine-made products. Portland Harbor is the city's thriving working waterfront, a hodgepodge of condos, fish markets, and ferry docks, and a jumping-off spot for cruises to several of Casco Bay's hundreds of islands. Relaxing dinner, sunset, or whale-watching cruises are also popular, or for a more active experience, you can take a sail training or sport fishing cruise.
Like the rest of Portland, the Old Port is very walkable.
