The Portland area is a perfect getaway, with the sophistication and excitement of a major metropolitan region, yet with the comfort and charm of a small town.

On the coast, there is ample opportunity for watching the sailboats in Portland Harbor or taking a sunset cruise. The art scene is thriving, and on many evenings the newest cutting-edge gallery opening is the place to be. Portland has an astounding number of restaurants offering an equally staggering range of style and cost, making dining a high point of a Portland visit. Evening at the theater, afternoon at the shops and museums, walking tours, breweries and history combine to make Greater Portland Casco Bay a destination, and The Danforth is in the heart of it all.
