Wheelchair Rental in Portsmouth, NH: Getting Around Downtown
Portsmouth is a walking city. Restaurants, shops, museums and the waterfront are all within a few blocks of Market Square. That is great until you realize the parking garage is a few blocks away too, and half the sidewalks are old brick.
Brick, curbs and hills
The brick sidewalks downtown are charming and bumpy. A standard wheelchair with large rear wheels rolls over them more smoothly than a transport chair with small front casters. Most corners have curb cuts. The streets slope gently down toward the river, so plan your route to go downhill first and take a cab or ride back up if needed.
Parking
The city garages are the easiest place to park with a chair because the accessible spaces are close to elevators. Drop off your passenger at Market Square first, then park.
What to see
Prescott Park, the waterfront and Market Square are all smooth and close together. For indoor time, see Strawbery Banke and the Music Hall.
