Getting here
Arrival, honestly assessed
- Driving
- The city sits just off the coastal interstate corridor. Arrive before 11am on summer weekends or expect to circle for parking.
- Coach
- Regional coach services connect the Seacoast with Boston. Confirm current timetables with the operator.
- Air
- Boston and Manchester are the practical airports; both need a car or coach onward leg.
- On arrival
- Park once and walk. Everything in this guide except the West End is within a twenty-minute walk of Market Square.
Then read the parking reference and, if it applies to your party, the accessibility reference.
