Portland is a blend of old and new architecture where glass buildings abut brickfront landmarks and cobblestoned streets. Sitting on a peninsula in Casco Bay, Greater Portland is home to 25% of all Maine residents. With robust economic health, beauty, and a sporty yet sophisticated attitude, it attracts 3.6 million tourists each year. South Portland (“SoPo” among locals) is home to Maine Mall, Portland JetPort, and Bug Light (Portland Harbor Lighthouse). Fore River separates the two Portlands, leaving SoPo with spectacular views of Casco Bay. Like Portland, SoPo has excellent shops and eateries. |
