Portland is Maine's business, financial, and retail capital and the largest city in the state. Seascapes and cityscapes blend harmoniously in Portland, with its unparalleled location on a peninsula jutting out into island-studded Casco Bay. Portland is a sophisticated city incorporating the flavor and architecture of the 19th century into a modern urban environment. Historic buildings gracefully complement newer ones in the accessible working waterfront and the cobblestone streets of the restored Old Port section of the city. A vibrant arts scene, historic architecture and museums, and a dazzling array of opportunities for dining, shopping, and outdoor adventure make Portland a surprising and delightful city.
