Over the years, the town has cultivated a significant tourist population. The quaint downtown shopping center includes businesses that appeal to all ages. Local businesses and restaurants surround Market Square and along State Street. During festivals throughout the year, visitors are invited to enjoy concerts, food, and entertainment. An old mill building on Liberty Street is home to other small businesses and a local farmers' market during both the summer and winter seasons. The historic area has a charming feel and upbeat atmosphere.

High Street is a remarkable street of fine old Federal-style houses, linking the Atkinson Common (1893–1894) with the Bartlett Mall, site of the [[Charles Bulfinch]]-designed ''Essex County Superior Courthouse'' (1805). Laid out in 1801, the Bartlett Mall was redesigned in the 1880s by noted Boston landscape architect [[Charles Eliot (landscape architect)|Charles Eliot]], with later improvements by [[Arthur Shurcliff]].

[[First Presbyterian Church (Newburyport, Massachusetts)|First Presbyterian Church]] dates from 1756. The clock tower bell was cast by [[Paul Revere]]. One of the most famous individuals in 18th-century America, evangelist [[George Whitefield]], before dying in Newburyport in 1770, asked that his remains be buried under the pulpit of the "Old South" church, and they are there to this day.

Some other points of interest are the city's historic waterfront, Atwood Park located at the south end of Newburyport, Market Square & Inn Street, Cashman Park, and [[Brown Square]], graced with a statue to "[[William Lloyd Garrison|Garrison the Liberator]]", before the City Hall. The recently restored City Hall itself is a fine old building featuring in the first-floor corridor a portrait gallery of some of those who have fallen in service of their country. Others are listed on the central monument in Atkinson Common.
