Spend the Weekend in Portland, Maine!
Discovering Old Port
Spend the day enjoying the Old Port area of Portland. Lined with cobblestone streets, charming brick buildings and of course the pier lined coast! Here you will find so many great places to eat and drink! Take some time checking out some of the local shops, you're bound to find gifts for anyone in you life. This area is very walkable, just make sure to wear good shoes to handle the cobblestone!
Try a Potato Donut!
Sounds strange I'm sure, but they are quite good! So head to Holy Donut for a little morning treat. They have so many unique flavors with both vegan & gluten free options. The line can build up on the weekends, so make sure to go early or order ahead online!
Foodie's Paradise
Portland is seriously a foodie's paradise, there are so many great options. If you have dietary restrictions like gluten-free/vegan there are also plenty of great options for you! Make sure to check out our separate blog for all of our favorites!
Lighthouse
You're in Maine so you have to see at least one lighthouse, right?! Check out the Portland Head Light in Fort Williams Park. In nicer weather this is a great spot to chill and have a bite.
Since you're in Maine you should probably also check out the local seafood! If you're a lobster fan a New England Lobster roll is a must!
Tour a Local Brewery
Portland has some amazing breweries throughout the city. Whether you decide to visit one or many, we highly recommend touring one if you haven't already! There are also options like that of the Maine Brews Cruise, which takes you to to a couple locations and includes both tours and tastings. You can find more details in the guide below.
Not a fan of beer? Don't fret, there's still options! Visit a local distillery or make a pitstop at Sweet Grass for a tasting of their locally made Wine, Cider and Gin!
Enjoy the Nightlife
Whether you're looking for a low key night with craft cocktails or a younger crowd and dancing, there is something for everyone!
