Question 2

Is Newport walkable?

Accepted Answer

Newport is very walkable around the harbour, Thames Street, the Brick Market, and the Cliff Walk. The Gilded Age mansions on Bellevue Avenue are walkable from town if you don’t mind distance; Fort Adams is across the harbour.

RIPTA route 67 (Bellevue/Cliff Walk/Salve Regina) covers the mansions and Fort Adams; route 60 links Newport with Providence. For an easy day that strings together the Cliff Walk, multiple mansions, and coastal viewpoints, try a private tour in Newport with private transportation.
