What to See In Newport

1. Mansions

Newport is home to several extravagant, historic mansions that were the home of some of the most successful and wealthiest people in the 1800s and 1900s. Some of the most notable ones include the Breakers Mansion of the Vanderbilt family, Chateau-sur-Mer of the Wetmore family, the Rosecliff mansion commissioned by heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs, and the Elms of the Berwind family. The fastest and most comfortable way to see them all is through a charter bus tour. 

2. Cliff Walk

The Cliff Walk is a 3.5-mile trek along the coastline of Newport, with stunning views of both famous houses and the sea. It has several starting points from different avenues. If you don’t want to walk the whole trail, it’s easy to start the walk at the closest stop on your charter bus tour. If you aren’t up for walking, you can also ask the tour bus company about doing the ocean drive, where you follow the road along the coastline for similar views.

3. Fort Adams State Park

Fort Adams State Park is an old military compound that now features numerous recreational activities, from saltwater bathing to fishing and boating. It offers breathtaking views of Newport Harbor. Tours of the fort itself are offered from June to October.

4. Newport Art Museum

The Newport Art Museum is situated on 3 acres and includes the historic Griswold House and the Morris/Cushing Gallery. Its permanent collection consists of over 3,000 pieces, and temporary exhibitions are housed there regularly. They also hold events such as art classes, film screenings, and speakers.
