- If you are planning a visit to Portland Maine then you will enjoy this Virtual tour. In the video I start in the Old Port of Portland down by the weather Front. The exact location is the Regency Hotel. I then go to Dimello Restaurant and have some seafood. I then walk Congress Street and also go out to Cape Elizabeth and head over to Fort Washington. Also featured in this video is a cruise ship ported in Portland where I then walk towards the Eastern Promenade.

Having been encouraged to explore the world outside of the United States I have traveled many places solo and through Island Hopper TV I share the experience. This was filmed during the first day of Fall in New England.

I've lived in 3 different states but living in Portland, ME is by far the best experience I've had. So much simplicity and peace.
It's amazing how much prettier New England towns are than towns in the rest of the USA, on average. It's not that there aren't attractive places in the rest of the US, but in New England, prettiness and quaintness are the norms.
The Us demolished their cities in favor of huge highway and car centric infrastructure. Even tho US cities have never witnessed war and destruction most of them were destroyed anyways.
@@RappelKarton No, it didn't. This is abjectly wrong. There were never entire cities that were "demolished" for "huge highways" and "car centric infrastructure", that is errant, anti-American BS - are you not watching a video of an American city with no huge highways? So is your comment not just an obvious f*cking lie?
The alteration you should make to your comment is that some buildings (and, rarely, some market towns and city neighborhoods) were destroyed to make way for the construction of highways - but the same trend in automobile oriented transit construction occurred throughout Europe, where cities were also cut up (notably, London, Paris, Berlin, Birmingham, Manchester, Cologne, Munich, Amsterdam, etc) to make way for motorways.
Other cities in the US sunbelt like Houston and Phoenix grew up in the age of the automobile and, for reasons relating to climate particularly, oriented their metropolitan construction around automobile transit.
It is flat out false, however, to sit here and insult America's architectural and historical tradition by pretending like it doesn't exist, by ignoring it, and by slandering American cities in such ignorant, grossly generalized, utterly inaccurate historical terms. It's ignorant that you would single America out for this ridiculous slander when America has many more historically intact, significant cities than many other countries do, notably the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Russia, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Brazil...
It's because New England has so much more history than the West Coast or Midwest. Although there are also so many beautiful towns in the South like in Georgie and Alabama.
I've been all over the US, but it's something unique about New England. It feels like it's stuck between Europe and US somehow and has that old, beautiful vibe

Looks such a relaxing place to walk around
God it is
it is and the more north you go in maine you hit the mountains and the townships.... gotta visit baxter state park
I'm from Maine. Thanks for the excellent tour. This is one of the best places in the country,
Portland is huge. Outside of the city proper there are very large residential areas. The area that this was filmed is known as the Old Port and downtown Portland. Portland has incredible history and if you're into old stone architecture Portland's West End has some of the best. Where the East end runs along the harbor you'll find Victorian ship captain's houses (some are now bread and breakfasts) overlooking a beautiful promenade.
I love Portland, it's still one of my favorite places to visit now when I travel home to Maine.
Portland isn't "huge" it's only 60 thousand people. In most states that wouldn't even be a big suburb.
@@LexJones207 Geographically, I didn't say population. Have you ever been to Portland. It's spread out over a large area.
@@immar1075 I've lived in Portland since 2004. It's 70 square miles, but most of that is water.
@@immar1075 Also, a bunch of this video was filmed in Cape Elizabeth.
Portland, Maine is my new favorite US city 😍😍😍
This is such a nice video, thank you for showing us how beautiful Portland Maine is. I'd love to visit and spend some time there one day.
Excellent video, thank you for uploading this! Portland, ME is one of my favourite cities in the US. I stopped in only for 1 day, but ended up staying a week because I was so amazed by how vibrant it was. I've actually considered moving here many times and hopefully will make it happen one day, soon. Cheers!!!
Thanks for the video. I'm a Mainer and have lived in Portland for the last ten years or so, but right now am stuck in Mobile, Alabama and can't get home for another year so this was refreshing. I know this city like the back of my hand.
Wow, it looks so beautiful and I really like the vibe. This might be my favourite city in the US!
Just visited Portland this past weekend. First time that far north in the United States. It's an absolutely lovely city that I'd love to live in.
I worked and lived in Portland for six weeks back in the fall of 1999, I had a great time.
I love your videos because they interest me.
Maine and New Hampshire amaze me a lot.
Amazing scenery!! 💙💙
I am thinking of visiting portland soon and plan to stay a week or so to check out everything... i might even move there...... Just looking for a change of scenery from the washington dc area
@@justahasbeen not yet my friend..I will though soon once things get right a bit
@@bigred4335 yet?
My hometown. I love this place.
hey neighbor (sort of but not really) I live in the other Portland. The overcrowded, heavy traffic huge homeless problem metropolis. I so want to move to Maine. This video is fantastic and I am enjoying his narration.
@@carasmussen27 have you moved yet?
That's awesome! I really want to move to Maine. I'm a lifelong resident of Georgia. For the majority of the year it is extremely hot and humid. It really takes it's toll both physically and mentally. I'm happy that you are able to live in the place you love! Take care✌️
I was born and raised in Portland 👌🏽
New England is by far the best and most underrated region of the US.
Was there many years ago! Best Lobster I've ever eaten! And I love that harbor and quaint town. Beautiful place! 😎
Thomas Gipson, REALTOR yeah man Lobster everything here. I really enjoy the food here.
Hope you make it to Bar Harbor! Its beautiful there. Especially this time of year!
@@justahasbeen I was there probably 15 or more yrs ago. Back then, compared to the bigger cities I was accustomed to ( Dallas, TX & Detroit, MI), Portland is defintely "quaint", (IMO). Its all about perspective. 👍😊 Cheers ✌
@@thomasgipsonrealtor4055 I love Bar Harbor and lobster. Rarely eat it as it is quite expensive out here on the west coast.
@@carasmussen27 ... First thing I had on my 1st trip there.... Lobster Gratin. Drenched in So much butter and lemon. Soooo Rich and delicious. And then the fresh blueberry Cobbler, Pie, a la mode.... wow! Just love it! :)
I love the view from the pictures
Beautiful place
A Beautiful Sunny Day
Beautiful town!
I’m from Arkansas and I’m planning a trip to Portland, ME next summer. I can’t wait. It’s so pretty.
The weather was really good for the time of year 🦋
What a beautiful lovely place 🌅
Oh ~~ I miss this place !!!
❤️❤️❤️
It was great in the 1990s as well! I miss my old home......
Very nice, I enjoyed walkin with ya 😛
I really love this place, I'd love to live there as I love old architerure and cold places. Im from Brazil by the way, unfortunately it's always so hot here, I really hate this tropical weather.
I have met few Brazilians while living there. For some reason all the Dunkin Donut coffee shops in the area were owned by Brazilians.
Why not move to Rio Grande do Sul? I imagine the climate is similar.
@@JumpyJoker18 actually it's not, obviously it's colder when compared to northern Brazilian states, but not even close to the temperate weather of American northern states.
Visit Portland sometime.. You will probably love it.
Thank you for this video. I grew up here and been homesick for a long time. Most orher videos is just the youtuber talking about it showing pictures. This brought tears to my eyes. Next time go up to moosehead lake you wont b3 disappointed
Hey its Eric! From ur austin texas uber ride. We just walked through Portland Maine. Thanks! This video helped a bunch. I'll message u when I get done with my book so u could read it. Great Video!!!
I liked the Portland virtual tour, it became a coastal city and at the same time countryside for brick buildings. I'm signed from Brazil!
A very relaxing state for people
Wow this city has a lot more going on than I thought.
I love your videos. My partner and I planing a Boston - Portland - Providence trip but cant book anything at the moment cos of the lockdown in the UK
Only just come across your channel! Watched all the South American videos! Amazing channel!
South America is amazing so many places to explore I must go back!
As someone whom is looking to relocate to Portland this video was very helpful. Very low key....just like if you were walking yourself. And I didn't hear blaring reggaeton, ppl and kids screaming or gunshots like here in York, PA. Can't wait to get out of here.
Dope I love it here 😍
I love this city
Love my state 💜
I was born and raised here 24 years now I live in Sarasota, FL. I know I’ll go back someday.
You rock dude
the buildings remind me a lot of my hometown of Brooklyn, NY. If you ever make it out there be sure to visit the historic neighborhoods of carrol gardens, cobble hill, brooklyn heights. It's a much more diverse city with many things to see. Red Hook is kind of a beach, seafood type vibe, bushwick is an older industrial neighborhood thats seen a lot of revival recently. Vinegar hill is a hidden historic area just east of DUMBO with many old row homes and cobble stone streets and prospect park is an unrivaled urban green space. So much to see in Brooklyn and the rest of New York for that matter. So many of the beautiful neighborhoods remain working class ethnic enclaves without turning into tourist destinations like you see in Boston's north end or I'm assuming in downtown Portland, MI. Such examples are Chinatown, Washington Heights, Bensonhurst, Flushing, Brighton Beach, Rockaway Queens, etc. Gentrification does exist but there are a lot of gems if you go off the beaten path....
Thank you you made my day thank you again let me ask tou what cam you shot with ?
I live in Seattle and all you see downtown are tents and homeless people. Portland, Maine seems like a nice place to visit.
I agree about the size of some of the granite blocks. I was just looking at some massive ones the other day. I also know that some of the islands off the coast have some really old granite quarries. As far as the back fill goes, I've never heard quite how they did it so I'll inquire about that with the local historians.
Oxen and hard work!!
Wow lovely. As an Englishman, Maine looks in this like a cross between our Birmingham and Portsmouth.
Doesn't look like Birmingham. Birmingham is an old industrial city with lots of modern scars.
the cobble stones that are so prevalent, where used as ballest in the sailing ships.
Thank you for visiting my city.
A suggestion if you ever want to visit again though: Make sure to stay away from tourist traps. The lobster you payed for in that restaurant was too expensive. Try buying one from the fishing piers and markets instead. Then go to a place called Susan's Fish and Chips. They will cook and fry anything you bring in yourself for dirt cheap, and the atmosphere is really fun. Theres also a tone more to do up the hill near the library besides the portland market house, and a few real maine looking streets you missed that's left of that tiny harbor. Make sure to steer away from the oldport otherwise and seek out the parks in upper Portland.
Visiting Portland later this spring. Can you recommend more non-tourist trap eateries, places to drink, site see, neighborhoods, Maine looking streets, and things to do?
@@erickogge8604 Hi! I'm from Maine too, I don't know if you already made your trip but the Old Port is so nice! Yeah a lot of it is overpriced but honestly places like Dimillos are worth it to try! All you have to do is walk around Commercial and Fore street and you'll find plenty of shops and places to eat. Check out the Holy Donut too, yum!! And you can take the whale watching and boat tours too, and check out Portland Head Light. I'm from Maine and I like to do the touristy things haha
Watching from California. I love the traditional architecture of New England. Very pretty.
3:42 Portland is a mix of both new and old.
This is great. I am planning a trip there next month. Did you walk to the lighthouse from the city center and how long did it take?
I had to catch an Uber for that
The vibe that is Portland now is relatively new. The formally downtrodden and sketchy old port area has really turned around in the last 40 years. Downtown Portland has become much more attractive and accessible. Portland is a beautiful, small city with some big city problems. But the diversity and the overall generosity of the population makes up for any negatives. It's beautiful, and its Maine!
Reminds me of the U.K. Beautiful
is there a Grayhound bus close by?
looks like the UK to me
A lot of new england cities are very similar to the uk
I mean some settlements are by the english to makes alot of sense
Yummy food
How is the public transportation in Portland Maine? Is a car needed at all? Thanks in advance
Hello I'm thinking of moving here from England this year any advice?
Great video, but I kept waiting for you to break out in one of your songs. No way that was NOT Toby Keith Narrating that video. 🤠
Currently looking for you guys Green Stormwater Management practices at a better view 😊
Backfill by horse and wagon.The same with back Bay Boston.
When all you seek is profit, "that finishing touch" gets tossed to the wayside. Build what you treasure, treasure what you build.
The Maine coast in Summer! No better place to be.
Is it normal to walk in the roads in Portland?
Definitely dead down!
Great idea...good video..opening.music way too loud so hung in as that fades away. Nice visual walking tour steady camera!
Ah the good Portland
I found the remarks about the backfill and cut stones of Portland in the beginning of the walk pretty odd: Island Hopper evidently didn't consider the cathedrals of Europe. Those stone masons built extraordinary cathedrals during the Medieval period. They were obviously exceptionally skilled craftsmen working with exceptionally skilled architects. If I were giving a walking tour I would also ask the employees at the libraries and historical societies about how things were accomplished in the 19th Century--not my Uber driver. (Windham-Gorham, Maine Native now living in Southwest Utah)
I was born and raised in Portland. It's a nice city, but it's become very difficult to live here in recent years just because of the pricing, which is unfortunate. Wonderful City to visit but tough City to live in unless you're a refugee.
Lobster tots with a lobster milk shake please. And a lobster apple turnover.
I like the sea
I lived at 610 Congress St. in 1963....
🌲🌲💧🥰💧🌲🌲
The town everyone loves too much
That was one big lobster
love white city
How did they cut the rocks? Your mind is a mystery?
Before they had Diamond blades.
How hard would it be for someone to get around if they can't drive?
Not hard. They have buses. Used to live there.
@Mongoose 1980 Downtown is easily walkable. It all depends on if you want to follow bus schedules instead of your own schedule to go to South Portland, Cape Elizabeth, the other side of Portland, Old Orchard Beach, etc... Interesting Portland triva - Portland Tech High School is the building where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were first created/drawn/invented.
@Mongoose 1980 Happy to. Let me know if you do go. Would love to here your opinion of my birthplace.

Island Hopper TV- would you ever move to portland? why or why not?
For the summer from May to September/October sure. But I am not so sure about winter there. I know I dont like cold grey winters.
@@IslandHopperTV lol. is it nicer than phoenix during those 4 sunny months?
@@infoguy1978 well I do like the seafood, so yeah whicked Summer in Phoenix is not as good as seafood in Portland summers.
@@IslandHopperTV The 18 years that I lived there we averaged around 110 inches of snow each year.
@@justahasbeen My last winter there was 2012. I lived in Saco. Moved south in Oct' 2013. '12 was a bad one. Where I live now we average about 13 individual snowflakes a year, lol.
Your Uber driver was incorrect. The back filled area is on the other side of the peninsula, known as Bayside. The city burned in the late 1700's. The British burnt it in the 1810's as part of that war. Most of the downtown area was built of brick.
Portland, Maine looks way more beautiful than Portland, Oregon.
Too many homeless tents in Portland, Oregon.
33:26 I'm real sorry next time we'll owe you. Now that a true Mainer. Confident in the fact she most likely never see that person again and honest enough to pony up if that person returns.
03:15 Water saw big brain.
Here's a fun fact Maine use to be called the district of Maine, because it was part of Massachusetts until 1820 .
You should also take a tour of the Portland in Oregon
When people say Portland I immediately think Portland, Me and not Or.
Never too early for alcohol
backfill by pick, shovel, wheelbarrow, and sweat
Why is the crime rate so low??
Make Portland Great Again.
Portland, Maine was cooler ten years ago and always has been.
I live here
crystal beaudette how do you like it?
Should I move there?
Most of the “perfectly cut” stuff from ancient history isn’t cut rocks, it’s ancient architecture covered in mud, silt, and volcanic ash from when the great flood hit, when the flood subsided it hardened over thousands of years and all the material.. wood, metals, etc ran out of it and it became a fossilized imprint of what it used to be. Anyone with the technology to cut rock perfectly that way would build things structurally with steel and concrete the way we do today. It’s either fossilized wood, steel, or ancient concrete pour.
Little known factoid about Portland... There is a sushi place run by Chef Masa Miyake.
Best sushi in the Solar System.
Again, this is a fact, and it cannot be disputed.
Audio levels are all over the place! You might want to eliminate narrating and shooting your own pieces! If you are going to walk and tape same time, might want to consider some 'steady cam' device, the bouncing picture made me sick after 30 seconds!......Found the 10 minute piece on cutting rocks so interesting? Please really? then; : "Goshguys this is really a great place to be....You got to come hereI" I couldn't watch anymore.....Sorry about this review (couldn't help myself!).
Are you from Maine?
Brian York from Arizona
@@IslandHopperTV I currently live in Phoenix. Which do you prefer, Maine or Arizona?
@@coffeepandacat Arizona cuz it’s near of California
Makes me want to dump California and move here. Looks so peaceful and relaxed
we dont realllly know know what is across from the real black sea, but we ve seen things come from there
