Maine's largest metropolitan area is a diverse city situated on a peninsula jutting out into spectacular, island-studded Casco Bay. Portland is a haven for water-related activities, historic excursions, fairs, festivals, and four-seasons of outdoor pleasures. If you want to get away from it all, Greater Portland has open spaces and an unspoiled landscape that will refresh your spirit and recharge your energies. Friendly people, safe, uncrowded streets, easy access, great shopping, diverse cuisine, premier arts district, spectacular scenery, lots of activities to choose from, tranquil retreats... Greater Portland is where Maine goes to town. Come see why Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called his boyhood home of Portland, Maine a "Jewel By The Sea."
