"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.."
"Historic area with brick walkways and unique homes. Lots of plaques detailing the history of the buildings adds to the experience. I recommend taking the ferry to Norfolk, especially with kids. Great experience!"
"Downtown olde Town is one of those places where everybody local hangs out and support the businesses. you want to relax and lay back and enjoy the peacefulness of being on the water and being surrounded by restaurants bars everything that you need to feel free on foot.."
