There are a lot of great places to visit in either state.  Kind of depends on what your interests are and if you are traveling alone or with children.  Also depends on what time you plan on visiting. 

I live in Maine and have visited New Hampshire several times.  Not sure I can answer all your questions but feel free to ask and I will try.  Hope the links below help you. 

Portland is a nice place and you can go to what they call the Old Port (which is on the water) and there are old shops and stuff there.  Nice place to walk around if you want to walk.  To drive I would travel up Route 1 (traffic may be heavy but you get to see the coast of Maine).  Freeport is a nice place to visit if you want to shop.  Home of the famous LL Bean.  Kittery (which is just across the border from Portsmouth) has outlet stores.  Portsmouth also is nice and I believe they have a lot of old historic buildings if that is of interest to you.

The White Moutains in NH are beautiful as I said before.  Also in North Conway, NH there are tons of outlet stores there also.
