“The reunion was
fantastic. Every-
one raved about
Portland and the
great time they
had! Folks went to
Freeport, Peaks
Island, Old
Orchard Beach,
and took ferry
rides. Our lobster
bake was just the
best. Maine knows
how to welcome
guests!”

STAY ONE
MORE DAY
Just off the coast of Portland, several
Islands await your discovery. Hop a Casco
Bay Lines ferry for an overnight stay on
Peaks, Chebeague, or Great Diamond
and enjoy the serenity of island life for a
spell. As you relax in Adirondack chairs,
you’ll find it hard to believe you’re only
30 minutes to an hour away from Maine’s
largest city.
GO CAR FREE
It’s easy to explore Greater Portland with-
out a car. Trolleys offer narrated tours, and
boats are lined up along Commercial Street
ready to take you out on the bay. You can
get between the Portland Transportation
Center (train and bus), the Portland Jetport,
The Maine Mall, and up to Freeport on the
METRO bus, and the Amtrak Downeaster
gets you north to Freeport and Brunswick
and south to Old Orchard Beach, Saco,
and Wells without the hassle of driving
and parking. Several tour companies will
customize an itinerary for a half to several
days and take you where you most want to
go. So don’t hesitate to extend your visit if
you arrive without a car—Maine awaits.
