Portland Maine is walkable but distances farther than you think

 I walked from the cruise terminal to the Portland art museum. Google said it was a 15 minute walk. At a quick pace it took 30 minutes. The town is hilly and has lots of cobble stones. Shopping is all over, but go a couple of streets up from the harbour for better prices. I paid 8 usd for a t shirt that was 25 usd near the harbour.

The art museum is a gem. The Winslow Homer exhibit was the best I have experienced. It’s 4 floors and $18usd for seniors.  Well worth the fee.

The harbour was busy, but fun with lots of restaurants and shops.  The marina is very pretty.

Warning there are a lot of homeless people. They won’t hurt you but constantly ask for change.

Hope this helps

Marcia
