  • We flew - as usual... but you could drive there, or take a boat.
    A car is a must - there is no public transportation (well, there are a few buses, but not enough to enjoy all the sights). We rented a car - and it was easy to find our way around, and it enabled us to go further south to see some of the lighthouses!

  • The best way to travel to and from Portland, if coming from away, is by plane. If you are within 6 or 7 hours, driving would be a good way also.
    If you only want to stay withing Portland, there is really no need to rent a car. You can walk, take a taxi, or ride a bus. However, if you want to see other places outside of Portland (Kennebunkport, Freeport, Boothbay Harbor, are some good choices), you will definitely need a rental car.

    Downeaster makes seasonal stops at Old Orchard Beach in season. This is an alternative to route I 95 traffic delays. This sand sculpture of the Downeaster was created at Old Orchard Beach by "the pier"

    The DownEaster

  • DownEaster at North Station, Boston - Portland
    DownEaster at North Station,
    Boston
    by johngayton
    For a leisurely way to get to Portland from Boston the Amtrak operated DownEaster is a great little train journey, following sporadically the Atlantic Coast as it briefly passes through New Hampshire. Passing through 8 stations this is not the quickest way to get from Boston to Portland but it certainly is the most relaxing and with the cafe-bar serving the excellent Portland-brewed Shipyard at $3.75 a bottle I sorta hoped the journey would have taken longer.

    Even in standard class (coach in yankese) the seats are wide with plenty of leg-room and most have power points should you wish to do some laptop work or even just recharge the camera batteries.

    When I went in April 2006 the each way fare was $22 and worth every penny of it.

    Portland Transit Centre
    by johngayton
    The Portland transit centre at 100 Thompson's Point Road is where the Amtrak DownEaster terminates and has connections to the local Portland Explorer and Metro bus services. This is a pretty good transport centre with its complimentary coffee service, vending machines, rest rooms, telephones and even an ATM.

    This is also the depot for Concord Trailways Bus Company with connections around Maine and New Hampshire.

    An easy drive on rt 95 which is the same as 195,295, and the Maine Turnpike.
    Cars are easy, because every one drives 2 speeds: slow, and stop :)

    Well, we had a car with us but you can also catch a cab. That worked out well, especially when we were going out to the bars!!
