D espite being the east’s most northern coastal metro area, Greater Portland is closer than many think. Portland is more than a typical urban center of world-class restaurants, sports teams, museums, arts and culture. With harbor islands, expansive parks and beaches, undeveloped coastline, interlocking trails over mountains and through woods, it’s appropriate the urban center is nicknamed ‘The Forest City.’

And with fuel prices at historic lows, visiting Greater Portland is easier than ever!
