Dover

Portsmouth, Durham and Rochester, are nearby suburbs which are also worth exploring.

To gain a deeper understanding of Portsmouth, visit one of its museums and theaters. Visit some of the remarkable museums including the Strawbery Banke Museum, Albacore Park and the John Paul Jones House Museum. To catch home-grown and touring acts, pick up some tickets to Music Hall, one of the area’s premier performing arts venues.

Hunt down a bargain, stock up on groceries or just people-watch at popular shopping destinations like Kittery Outlets in Kittery and the Fox Run Mall.

After a long day enjoying Dover, rest up at one of the area’s hotels or serviced apartments. The Americas Best Inns-Portsmouth, the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel and the Hilton Garden Inn Portsmouth/Downtown are among the many great places to stay around here.
