Newport, Rhode Island is historical town and popular summer destination. Home to some of the most spectacular summer ‘cottages’ in the country, once owned by the likes of the Astor and the Vanderbilt families, visitors can now take tours of these splendid mansions and get a glimpse of high society at the turn of the 20th century.
Newport is only about 190 miles form New York City and only 60 miles from Boston; making it an ideal weekend getaway for those urbanites who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Arrive, park your car and leave it there until its time to leave; Newport is best experienced on foot or from the water via a cruise or water taxi!
