2025 Portland Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#TravelAmerica #100TravelTips ⛴️ Come visit a small, famous resort town in Maine. This state is not far from Boston. The location is good, next to Canada. The weather is cool and sunny. 😘 Beautiful boats, great sea views 🚤 You have to come to the "Portland Pier" area to hunt for fresh, big lobsters (on a plate). It is the highlight here. Because each famous restaurant lined up around the port will have a lobster fishing boat delivering fresh goods for you to see. 🛟 Recommended menus that you must try are Lobster Roll, Lobster with Butter Sauce

#cruise #luxurytravel #100traveltips Normally, the pictures that are seen all over the postcards with the landmark of this place is Portland Head Light, the famous lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth. 🌿But there is another thing that creates good vibes, which is sailing in the sea, watching seabirds, catching fish, catching lobster 🦞 This is another special trip. 🌱 After taking pictures in the sea, we ended by boarding a boat to eat the main food of this area, which is “Seafoods”. As expected, the hero is the large “Lobster”. [Special Thanks: P’Ramita 💕]

🏨Courtyard by Marriott Changzhou 📍Location: It is located in Shunshan Town, at the junction of Changzhou, Wuxi, and Jiangyin. 🌸Surroundings: The architecture is in the style of traditional Jiangnan residences, with black, white, and gray tones, plus bridges, flowing water, green plants, and rockeries, creating a strong atmosphere of ink wash Jiangnan. The fireplace in the lobby bar is super stylish, with a 100% photo op rate! 🛏️Rooms: All room types have open-air balconies with views of Shunshan. I stayed in an executive king room, with a view right outside the window. The layout is very similar to the Sanya EDITION! The 42-square-meter space is super spacious, with a log color scheme + sloping roof, making it lazy and comfortable. The bathroom hardware is Hansgrohe, and there is also a PG bathtub and Dyson hair dryer. This configuration directly won me over! The first round of the mini bar is free, and the capsule coffee machine and direct drinking water machine are also super thoughtful~ 🍽All-Day Dining Restaurant: The breakfast category is similar to other Courtyard hotels. The cowpea cake and noodles are delicious. During peak hours, you have to wait in line for breakfast at 9 or 10 o'clock. 🥢Hong Kong Restaurant: The taste is good, the ingredients are fresh, featuring Huaiyang and Cantonese cuisine. I ate a lot of Changzhou fried rice. 🏃Piggy Paradise: Suitable for parent-child activities for children over 3 years old, with small amusement facilities, animal feeding, etc. Rural MALL: Supporting commercial block, multi-format, not many big brands, but there are still KFC and COCO. There will be a blacksmithing performance at 8pm. Jiaoxi Ancient Town: 5–10 minutes by car. It is being renovated + it was too hot, so I didn’t go in. I had lunch at Xuan Anju next to it. The dishes are regular, but the braised dried tofu and salted egg yolk pumpkin are delicious.

#springwander #lobster The Highroller Lobster Company in Portland Maine is the perfect spot to have a nice spring lunch with friends and family. The restaurant has lots of seating. It is famous for its lobster rolls which is a local delicacy. The location is central and you can sit outdoors and have a hearty spring meal. The unique decoration of the place also makes a great spot for pictures. I can’t recommend this spot enough for delicious seafood.

#domestictravel Portland, Maine, is a charming coastal city known for its historic Old Port, scenic waterfront, and exceptional seafood. Visitors can stroll along cobblestone streets filled with boutique shops, breweries, and restaurants serving fresh lobster and oysters. Portland Head Light, one of the oldest lighthouses in the U.S., offers picturesque views along the coast. The city’s arts scene is also thriving, with local theaters, galleries, and music venues. Portland is ideal for travelers looking for a cozy, small-town feel with coastal beauty, excellent food, and a strong sense of local culture.

Portland, Maine, is a coastal gem where the charm of New England is on full display. My visit to this picturesque city was a delightful blend of maritime history, culinary exploration, and natural beauty. Among the highlights was the iconic Portland Head Light, a beacon of the Maine coastline, offering stunning views and a glimpse into the area's nautical past. Exploring the Old Port district was like walking through a postcard, with its cobblestone streets, waterfront seafood restaurants, and bustling boutiques. The aroma of the sea mixed with the scent of freshly caught lobster and other ocean delicacies made it clear why Portland is celebrated for its seafood. A lobster boat tour provided a hands-on experience of Maine's lobster fishing tradition. Learning about the process, from trap to table, and then tasting the freshest lobster imaginable was a culinary adventure I won't soon forget. The respect for sustainability and the ocean's resources was evident in every story shared by the local fishermen. Portland's culinary scene extends beyond seafood, offering a diverse array of dining options. From cozy cafés serving up Maine blueberry pancakes to innovative restaurants pushing the boundaries of New England cuisine, there was something to satisfy every palate. For those visiting, taking a walk along the Eastern Promenade offers breathtaking views of Casco Bay and its islands. It's a perfect spot for a picnic or simply to relax and watch the boats glide by. Travel tips for future visitors include packing layers, as the weather can be unpredictable, and exploring beyond the city limits. The surrounding areas of Portland offer beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and small towns rich in character and history. One thing that stood out to me during my visit was the warmth and friendliness of the people. Whether it was a shop owner, a tour guide, or a fellow diner, everyone seemed genuinely happy to share the beauty of their city with visitors. My time in Portland was a reminder of the joy of coastal living, where the rhythm of the sea influences every aspect of life. It's a place I hope to return to, not just for the scenery and the food, but for the sense of community and belonging that is palpably felt throughout the city. #MaineMoments #PortlandPleasures #LobsterLife #LighthouseLove #NewEnglandNostalgia #falltrip#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip

#fallingseason The arrival of autumn fills Portland’s calendar with cultural, wine and holiday events. The city’s arts offerings come into full swing every fall, with a seemingly endless array of things to do, see and experience. Autumn is the prime time to explore Portland’s independent theater, big musical productions, opera, ballet, and symphony scenes. In addition to celebrations of the spookiest season (which brings Halloween events, haunted houses, and festive corn mazes), Portland starts gearing up for the holidays. The city’s lack of sales tax means built-in savings when you shop (we recommend finding some made-in-Portland souvenirs to commemorate your trip to The Rose City). Fall heralds the return of Portland’s NBA Team, the Trail Blazers, along with locally beloved annual events #freehotelstay. #fallingseason. #placetosee #stunningbeach #londontrip #beachparty #boracaytrip #bangkoktrip #beijingtrip #tokyotrip #shenzhentrip #sanyatrip #newyortrip ¹#hangzhoutrip #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #singaporetrip #helloautumn #triptravelguide #triptravel #beachvacation #hotelstaycation
