 The
Old Port - Portland's Historic Waterfront District
Portland's Old Port is one of the most successful revitalized warehouse
districts in the country. Seamlessly connected to the waterfront, the
Old Port is both a chic shopping, dining, and entertainment district and
a working waterfront.
Taking a walk
at
the water's edge along Commercial Street provides a window into the
working waterfront. Just steps from the water, one can stroll the
cobblestone streets and experience the quaint charm of this district.
The boutique shopping, one-of-a-kind stores, restaurants serving Maine's
famous lobster dishes or the latest nouveau cuisine, and a vibrant
nightlife are all superb.
 The smell of the sea air, the sound of a foghorn, and the chatter of
seagulls add to an atmosphere that is undeniably Portland, undeniably
Maine.
