Constructed upon old piers dating back to the 1850s, Commercial Street is a popular tourist attraction in Downtown Portland. Despite facing a setback in 1980s, Commercial Street retained its charm thanks to the efforts of the local fishermen. One of the popular landmarks here is the Maine State Pier, which is a music venue and marine facility. Also found here are the Union Wharf and Widgery Wharf, which are regarded amongst the city's oldest structures. Thanks to the aforementioned features, Commercial Street was declared one of the best streets by the American Planning Association in 2008.

Great few blocks along the sea/wharf to shop and eat and drink, parking is best done in a parking garage
MoreCommercial Street is a MUST do while in Portland! Iconic, beautiful & charming. It’s the most historic part of the city with cobblestone streets, charming boutique shopping, tons of bars & the best places to dine in Portland. Very beautiful & worthy of photos! Stunning to just walk around & enjoy this happening area! Some faves on Commercial St-- Buzz Coffee- Mt Dessert Ice Cream- Holy Donut - allll the shops!- historic brick buildings that give it the iconic look!Don’t forget to walk down to the waterfront to check out the beautiful boats!
MoreMy wife and I were able to escape for a few days without the children and we decided to go to Portland. Everything we needed was close by. All of the attractions, piers, ferries, bars, shopping are located on this main causeway. There is small community of homelessness but I never felt at harm. It is one of the most cleanest and safest cities I’ve ever been to!!
MoreLots of shooed to poke in and out of - nothing too special however. Many streets you can head up and down from the main drag.
MoreGreat place for shopping, mainly souvenir stores with some clothing and Knick knacks stores! Highly recommend soleil with their mini print vending machine!
