Rhode Island Other Attractions


Providence is famous for its beautifully preserved historic architecture throughout the city, with more buildings on the National Historic Register than anywhere else. Historic sites, wonderful museums and theatres compliment the current Renaissance Providence is experiencing, which has brought a new mall, Riverwalk, outdoor skating center, convention center, hotels, and so much more. The Providence renaissance has received national acclaim as, amazingly, new developments have fit right in with the historic character of the city.
