Luke's Lobster Portland Pier

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Maine! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Maine for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Portland, Maine is a destination that combines historic charm with modern amenities, offering visitors a rich and varied experience. Whether you’re strolling through the Old Port, savoring fresh seafood, or exploring the scenic coastline, there is something here for everyone and Portland promises a memorable visit. This guide provides dining, hotel, and activity recommendations from myself as a local who's lived here for 10 years. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone looking to relax by the sea, Portland has something to offer. Don't forget to save this guide to your Thatch library for later! I'll continue to update periodically, especially as I continue to try more of the best restaurants in town!

An itinerary for the lowkey outdoorsy bride. Filled with brewery tours, a beach day, a chocolate store, and lots of seafood.
