Seafaring city in Rhode Island, famed for Gilded Age cliff mansions, the Cliff Walk and sailing tradition.

📍 Destination Overview

Newport, at the south end of Rhode Island's Aquidneck Island, is famed for its gilded-age cliff mansions; the Vanderbilt estates The Breakers and Marble House are magnificent. Its Cliff Walk, some five kilometres along Narragansett Bay, takes in mansions and ocean views. A century-long home of the America's Cup, it also offers the Tennis Hall of Fame and seaside parks.

📷 Top Attractions

The Breaker
No.1 Newport
The Breaker
The Breakers is Newport's grandest Gilded Age cottage, built by the Vanderbilts in 1895 as a summer 'cottage', modelled on Italian Renaissance palaces by architect Richardson and his team. Atop a cliff over the Atlantic, it boasts a soaring hall, gilded dining room and fine gardens—the apex of late-19th-century American wealth and seaside opulence, now open via the Preservation Society.
National Park & Nature
No.2 Newport
St. George's School
Founded in 1896 by the Rev. John Byron Diman, St. George's School is a historic Episcopal boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island. Set on a coastal hill beside Newport, its Gothic-style buildings overlook Narragansett Bay, making the campus itself one of the area's notable sights.
