Spend an afternoon in Portsmouth. It’s walkable, has plenty of good shopping and dining, charming neighborhoods and scenic water views.

I second what another poster said about visiting a sugar house! It’s the precise time of year for it and is a unique tradition of this part of the world.

As far as tourism is concerned, New Hampshire is first and foremost an outdoor recreation paradise and March is just about the worst possible time to visit. Hope you have a great trip though!

What is a better time to visit? We were thinking of coming in April...

Spring is the worst season in New England. April is better but still wet, cold, and gray.

The best time to visit would be early June to late October. Extend that through winter if you do winter sports.

March and April are the two worst months. Next would be November (cause typically cold and gloomy but no snow). May-October is pretty warm, and January-February is historically cold. In between can ne very meh/bleh/gray, which someone from London for instance might be used to

Stay in the historic part - (Near Market Street / Congress Street / Pleasant Street - great shops, great food, and a bit of local history (Strawberry Banke is within walking distance from there)
