4. Portland Observatory
Overall Ratings

THE PORTLAND OBSERVATORY IS CLOSED FOR THE 2019 SEASON. SEE YOU IN SPRING 2020! Breathtaking views and fascinating history at America’s last standing maritime signal tower. In the 1800s, Captain Moody used this observatory to monitor the routes of ships as far as 30 miles away. Today visitors can tour a museum focusing on the history of the watch tower and get a stunning bird's-eye view of Portland and the harbor.

We arrived at the Observatory after a long day of touring Portland. As it turned out, we saved the best for last! The structure sits atop Munjoy Hill, with a commanding view of the city and its harbor. It has an interesting history and interesting architectural features, all of which we learned about as we slowly wound our way to the top of the tower, led by Sue, our exceptional and engaging guide. Sue brought the details of the observatory to life with her wonderful gift of storytelling. Without Sue it would have been a pleasant but not exciting visit. With her, it was delightful and memorable!

We have been going to Maine for over 35 years as a couple and as children before that and we have never gotten off of Route 1 and gone into Brunswick. We were traveling with another couple and used Brunswick as our hub for three days. This allowed us to make several trips into town and we were able to explore the shops, restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops along with attractions like Bowdoin College, museums and historic homes and neighborhoods. Brunswick is rich in all of these and Maine Street is the main street where many can be found. I will review each attraction we visited separately, but needless to say, it is a charming town with much to offer and therefore a wonderful destination. We cannot believe we had not explore Brunswick before this. We are looking forward to returning.

Bridge connecting Bailey and Orrs islands.

It is fun driving over it, as it has a twist to it. Very unusual and looks to be very solidly build. There are beautiful water views on both sides of it.

Historic street at the edge of the working waterfront area of Portland.

It's a shopper's paradise of non-touristic options including bakeries, breweries, clothing shops, fine arts & jewlery, cooking distractions, restaurants, bars, and the wonderful ferry ride options through Casco Bay. And, it's flat.

Pity Garmin close it down, it was famous for its maps
