Portland is relatively easy to negotiate on foot, with plenty of
attractions within walking distance of each other. The Old Port is
worth exploring on foot, as is the Downtown Arts District. A car is
worth hiring if exploring surrounding areas and parking is readily
available within the city with free 'park and shop' options
available at downtown parking garages. Tickets can be stamped for
an hour's free parking at a number of downtown locations. The
Portland Explorer Bus is another easy option, particularly for
tourists. Operating from May to October, a ride is $2 (children
under 12 ride free) and the bus connects major tourist attractions
and several hotels.
