Portsmouth is a historic port city across the water from Norfolk, filled with old homes and a busy harbor. Boats and ferries are a big part of daily life here.
You can ride the ferry across the river to Norfolk, discover ships and lighthouses at the Naval Shipyard Museum, and enjoy hands-on fun at the Children's Museum of Virginia.
