Often over-shadowed by the state s popular tourist centers of the White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire s cities don t get as much attention. But they are filled with attractions and things to do, making them perfect destinations for relaxing weekend getaways.
To those from large metropolitan areas, New Hampshire s cities may seem like towns - and in fact, several of them are. Throughout most of New England, the distinction between towns and cities is based on their form of government, not their size or population. So some of the cities in this list are technically towns, but you wouldn t know it from their busy Main Street or abundance of things to do there.
