City of Portland

Named in the top ten nationally as one of the safest, culturally most fascinating US Cities and among the ten “perfect places to live in America,” Portland is Maine’s business, financial and retail capital and the largest city in the state.

Seascapes and cityscapes blend harmoniously in Portland, perched on a peninsula, jutting out into island-studded Casco Bay.

The metropolitan hub of Maine’s south coast region, Portland is a progressive, lively city incorporating the character of yesteryear into a modern urban environment.

Historic architecture blends gracefully with the new as you stroll along her working waterfront or the cobblestone streets of the restored Old Port section of the city.

Recreation, entertainment, scenery, culture – we’ve got the market cornered. Just ask the millions of tourists who visit each year. And, the same things that attract vacationers make Portland a wonderful place to live, to work and to do business.
