Portsmouth itself is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities. It hugs the Elizabeth River across from Norfolk, and its older districts carry real architectural character. Getting around is straightforward. Interstate 264 and US-58 connect you to the broader region quickly. The Downtown Portsmouth waterfront and the Olde Towne historic district are both a short drive east.
