The Old Port is a fun place to go to shop, eat dinner, bar hop, of just to go for a walk. There aren't as many "artsy" stores as there used to be - but it is still worth a visit.

Such a great area. Amazing variety of restaurants, coffee places, and gelato. The shops are the best of anywhere we have been.
Made the mistake, I guess, of going mid Sunday morning...no convenient parking available so went back to Freeport then returned later in the afternoon and luckily found a central spot.

I've grown up in New England and enjoy hitting up areas like this. The Old Port is cute and has nice shops and stores and cafes. A good way to spend an afternoon.
I love the old port in Portland, though it is often difficult to find a parking spot near the place you really want to be. Plenty of photo opportunities amongst the ambiance. The working docks are interesting places to watch other people working for a living.
Shops and restaurants...I think since we had spent all day in York, Ongunquit, and Kennebunkport, this did not really impress that much. It's clean and safe and a good place to walk around.
Very charming but the sidewalks are very hard to walk on very narrow and many have broken pavment.
My wife and I work in the Old Port, and we still like to hang out here and enjoy the restaurants, shops and ambiance even when we're not working.
