Pros: A city that hasn't come into the modern world in looks and holds 1800's charm. Cons: It's good for one days visit by me.
Generally the only stop going up to and from Maine in New Hampshire is at the Discount Liquor Stores just off the Interstate. The prices really are good. We have however heard and read things about Portsmouth many times. We recently thought to spend ...
Pros: Small urban town with a real downtown area Cons: Lots of tourists
Even though Portsmouth is across the river from Maine..you CAN get there from here! This small New Hampshire city is located about an hour north of Boston via Route 128 to U.S. 95 or 495 to 93 to 101 via the Mass. Pike or old Route 1..anyway a good map...
Pros: beautiful, well-located, well-stocked with food, shopping and entertainment Cons: it snows a bit in the winter

Pros: lots to see and do. Year round cultural events Cons: A little bit pricey
Located on the southern New Hampshire coast, Portsmouth is a city offering something for everyone. Even the most discerning tourist can find something of interest in Portsmouth. From the historical wonderlands of Strawberry Banke and Portsmouth's Black...
Pros: quaint, vibrant, attractive town Cons: pricey stores, hard to park
For four summers, I worked at a Unitarian Conference Center out on the Isles of Shoals, a group of islands off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire. Employees got one day off a week, and there was only one place to go: Portsmouth. That's where the ferry...
Pros: Convenient and quaint Cons: Not much night life
New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free or Die," but you'd never know it from visiting this seaside city, located on the hiccup of New Hampshire's coastline. Portsmouth won't be confused with cosmopolitan Boston, an hour to the south;...
Pros: Only one hour from Boston, seaside charm without the "attitude" of Cape Cod Cons: Very cold ocean waters, even in late Summer; "white-trashy" reputation of a couple of communities
There is no Epinions category for the "New Hampshire Seacoast," only for Portsmouth, the largest city in the area. Much of what I am going to write is about the area abutting Portsmouth, so please bear with me. The New Hampshire seacoast is the ...
Pros: colonial atmosphere, many attractions for couples Cons: pricey
I don't know about you, but the American Revolution in 5th grade history class conjured up so many images of cobblestone roads, salt-box houses, curvy and hilly streets, horse and carriages and men with funny hats. This is what Portsmouth is all about....
Pros: Pretty, great local arts scene, fun to walk, Strawberry Banke Cons: Most suited for visiting for a short vacation
I lived in Portsmouth for 10 months from 1988-89. It's changed a bit since then and it seems to me that the changes are for the better. It's a lively place, fun to walk around, fun to visit, a great local arts scene for visual arts, music and theatre and...
Pros: Perks of a big city, charm of a small one Cons: Not always easy to find a parking space
Review Topic: Overview
In the live free or die state, Portsmouth is clearly the eat, drink and be merry city - at least for those of us Gen-Xers.
I moved to New Hampshire this past summer, after giving up on the idea that...
This is the ultimate experience. If you ever happen upon NH's seacoast, you need to take a day out to go on the water to whale watch.
The excitement of such an expedition will remain with you for many years to come.
Pros: Two bedrooms with separate baths, living room, reasonable cost Cons: Need to go through lobby to pool, restaurants not real close.
We stayed at the Best Western Wynwood on the Route 1 traffic circle for a weekend in Feb 01. It was mostly a getaway for the family to enjoy the pool. The room we had had two separate bedrooms, each with TVs, separated by a large living room with its own...
