Born in the north-eastern state, King has a house in the city and set many of his works among the streets of this attractive destination. But there's nothing frightening about beautiful Bangor. In fact, you're likely to fall very much in love with this small city, which welcomes visitors with open arms.

Sitting on the Penobscot River, where it meets the equally wonderfully-named Kenduskeag Stream, Bangor is centrally located and regards itself as a gateway to the outdoor pursuits and gorgeous vistas of Maine. Stay a while though and discover the local attractions, with a little help from the gregarious city folk.

Highlights include the Maine Discovery Museum, a fantastic attraction for children with a heap of hands-on activities and fun ways to learn. Bangor Museum and History Center also showcases the area, focusing on the fascinating aspects of Bangor's past. You can see the history and heritage of the city at all hours with tours of places such as the Broadway Historic District. The rich folk who pioneered the local lumber industry in the 19th century filled this tree-dotted neighbourhood with their grand mansions - it's a sight to behold. For a lovely summertime experience, check out the outdoor movie cinema every Friday night in delightful Pickering Square.
