Things to do in Portsmouth

Portsmouth is one of the oldest cities in the country, a seaport at the mouth of the Piscataqua River where brick Federal-era buildings, colonial houses and wharves remain at the heart of daily life. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, across the river in Kittery, Maine, has served the Navy since 1800 and today maintains submarines, while the Pease International Tradeport, on a former Air Force base, hosts a growing roster of companies. Downtown is known for its restaurants, breweries and independent shops, and the surrounding Seacoast draws both visitors and new residents from Boston.
