Hit the Road: Rhode Island
By Best Western
Infamous for its coastal lifestyle and famous residents – Hi, Taylor Swift – Rhode Island has a charm that can’t be found anywhere else.
With a Best Western Hotel and Resort to call home base, here are several must-sees in Rhode Island to add to your itinerary:
Go into Town
Visiting the capital of Rhode Island is required for any visitor – new or returning. Enjoy a meal, concert, or show on the steps of Waterplace Park, which has captivating views of downtown Providence. Or explore all 15 neighborhoods which offer visitors distinct and unique experiences, from the historic Federal Hill to the cultural West End; you can’t go wrong with whichever you choose to start with first.
A premier destination for every season, there is no shortage of activities that define who and what Warwick is. In spring, take a tour – and bite – of some of the local farms and gardens for a perfect introduction to what Warwick has to offer. In summer, explore one of the many beaches that are a staple to any Rhode Island experience. In the fall, enjoy a crisp walk among sites that date back as far as the 1600s, from Victorian homes to immaculate lighthouses.
Get Outside
Ready for an adventure that begins at the top? Visit the Mohegan Bluffs and descend 141 steps to one of Rhode Island’s most beautiful beaches. At the base, you’ll look at the 200-foot-tall Mohegan Bluffs. Sit and relax with impeccable views of the ocean before making your way back up.
Towering trees and rushing rivers, the Weetamoo Woods is a relaxing oasis that embodies Rhode Island’s beauty. Its 7 miles of trails have gentles slop, vibrant colors, and mature, unfragmented forests that make any walk a relaxing one.
Things to Do
- Enjoy a walk that will bring on all the views. The Newport cliff walk is free and open to the public walkway that runs 3.5-miles long. It captures locals and visitors alike for its incredible panoramic ocean views. This walk – among stunning homes and enchanting scenery – is the perfect way to start or end your day.
- The Vanderbilt family was once considered “American Royalty” for their mass social and financial preeminence. The Breakers, their home in Newport, is a masterpiece that deserves to be seen. Completed in 1895, the Breakers has 70 rooms inspired by the Italian Renaissance and 16th-century palaces of Genoa and Turin. Dress up in your Sunday best, strike a pose among the incredible architecture, and learn about the home and family history.
