A place worth knowing
Make room for Newport.
Give Newport a day shaped by your group’s interests. Choose aquarium exhibits or a suitable public history walk, with time for a meal and the waterfront. Tickets, public paths and entertainment venues have separate arrangements, even when they sit near each other.
A few good ways to begin.
Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.
