Named the “Third Gayest City in America,” Portland, Maine, is a wonderful city full of numerous attractions ranging from nature walks, art galleries, and beautiful waterfront to some fantastic art galleries, nightlife, and lobster rolls. It has been recognized by The Advocate for being a prime LGBTQIA destination for family pride and safety.
The most important thing to know about Portland is that there are hundreds of places to enjoy the sun, coffee shops, hiking trails, restaurant, etc., but it is a walk-a-holic’s and bicyclist’s city. There are several districts in Portland, each of which is known for different experiences and attractions, but there are two distinct areas which highlight the LGBT life of Portland, Maine: The Old Port and Arts District.
