Downtown Portland Highlights

Portland's Downtown is divided into four areas: the Government, Waterfront, Old Port, and Arts districts. Each has a unique style, contributing to Portland's broad appeal as an exciting, thriving city.

With a rich history as a working port town, Downtown Portland is always bustling with activity. It is an economic and business center, and is filled with some of the best boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants in northern New England. While Downtown Portland is a geographically small area, it features architectural styles of larger cities in New England. Historic details such as remaining cobble stone streets in the Old Port add to the area's character and beauty. Downtown features open green spaces and parks as a refreshing addition to the cityscape.
