Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Portsmouth, New Hampshire – Gateway to Maine

Portsmouth, New HampshirePortsmouth, NH is the gateway city as you approach the state of Maine from the South. This historic seaside town is the last New Hampshire landmark before you cross over the mighty Piscataqua River Bridge into Maine. Guests visiting southern Maine, particularly Kittery and York, should be sure to at least visit Portsmouth to enjoy the charm of this seacoast settlement that dates back to 1623 – the nation’s third oldest city.

Downtown Portsmouth is historic with cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks leading to a tremendous selection of boutique shops, restaurants, and brew pubs. Many restaurants feature waterfront decks. Portsmouth, New HampshireIf you want more river and ocean views, take a ride on the Isle of Shoals Steamboat Co. to tour Portsmouth Harbor and the outlying islands – the Isles of Shoals Islands themselves are steep in seafaring history. The islands in Portsmouth Harbor have been hotly debated between Maine and New Hampshire; in fact the Portsmouth Naval Base is technically in Maine – so the Pine Tree State won that one from the Granite State.

Portsmouth is a great walking town from the old Church in Market Square to Strawberry Banke Museum – a living history museum of the earliest settlers to this region. Prescott Park on the waterfront is home to summer concerts and theatre,

Portsmouth also offers mall shopping and all your favorite department stores at the Fox Run Mall.
