Now that you've visited our city, expand your horizons and take a ride on Hampton Roads Transit's charming paddlewheel pedestrian ferry for a short trip across the harbor to Norfolk.

While in Norfolk, experience the shops at the Waterside Marketplace; visit Nauticus, the National Maritime Center; stroll through the MacArthur Memorial, site of the grave and numerous personal mementos of the late World War 11 hero Gen. Douglas MacArthur; or shop at the new MacArthur Center.

Portsmouth is also a short distance from other area attractions, such as the Virginia Marine Science Museum in Virginia Beach, the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton, and The Mariners' Museum in Newport News. Or step back into early American history by visiting Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown, the cradle of colonial culture and American independence.                 Tri-City Photography
