Reviews of Portsmouth Olde Town Historic District
"Historic Olde Towne Portsmouth, Virginia, oldest Naval Hospital and Shipyard, with a nice Naval Museum by the HRT Ferry Landing at High and Water St.'s downtown. Stroll along the waterfront Boardwalk and see ships being repaired and updated. Visit the unique antique shops, restaurants, along High St., see an original lighthouse beacon by #1 High St. and an actual restored light ship on Water St. that had served as a warning light sea for many years."
"Plenty to do and fine food downtown...catch the ferry to Waterside...enjoy a movie at the Commodore...and have some fun on the water with a picture perfect view of Waterside and Naticius..."
"This is where our family loves to come and just walk around and enjoy the day.."
