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.

Portsmouth International Airport at Pease is just two miles from downtown, so flying private here is fast and convenient for business at the Tradeport or the shipyard, for summer homes in Rye and New Castle and for southern Maine destinations such as York and Kittery. Visitors stroll Market Square, tour the restored houses at Strawbery Banke, take harbor cruises to the Isles of Shoals and spend afternoons on the beaches of Rye and Hampton.

Things to do in Portsmouth

When to go. Summer is Portsmouth’s busiest season, with Prescott Park concerts, harbor cruises and beach days in Rye and Hampton. September and October are lovely, with warm days, cool nights, harvest menus and foliage up the rivers. Winters are cold, and the restaurant and theater scene keeps downtown lively, while spring arrives slowly along the water. Summer weekends book up early.
