Any of the Newport Mansions are fun to visit if you like history, The Gilded Age, or just fancy houses. The Breakers and Marble House are our favorites, but they're all in the same area and all awesome!
This is a fun walking trail that has multiple starting points. There are great views of the ocean and beautiful houses. This is near the mansions and is a Newport tourism staple.
We love going here. There are wonderful restaurants, awesome shopping, and great water views. Some dinner recommendations are Benjamin's, Bar and Board, The Red Parrot, Midtown Oyster Bar, and Brick Alley (this is always pretty crowded though) on Thames. We love Surf Club on Thames for food and especially for drinks (they have the BEST Mudslides!) and it's a great place to sit outside. Kilwin's is a must for ice cream. Near Thames but getting closer to Broadway there is also Fastnet for a fun dive bar, Stoneacre and Malt are great restaurants, and Charter Books is an awesome little independent book store.
Always fun for a bit of history! Also has excellent views.
This is a beautiful resort in Newport, but you can also get a drink here and sit outside on the Adirondack chairs and watch boats sail by!
