Popular landmarks

City Hall

Find the Portland City Hall. The first City Hall was built on this site in 1862, but destroyed 4 years later in the Great Fire. Its replacement suffered a similar fate, burning down in 1908. Third time’s a charm, apparently, as this building has stood for more than a century.

Sister City Statue

Welcome to a spot that connects two diverse seaport communities! Thus pair of Japanese mailboxes was gifted to Portland, ME from their sister city in Japan! They were to commemorate the 5th anniversary.

Long Wharf

Look for the Long Wharf, a historic waterfront area that played a crucial role in Portland's maritime past. As you stroll along the promenade, breathe in the salty air and imagine the bustling activity of ships loading and unloading cargo. This spot offers panoramic views of Casco Bay.
