Former summer home of the Vanderbilt's. Massive mansion sits right on the Ocean. Take the tour to see how the super rich lived during the gilded age.
Richard Morris Hunt designed Marble House for William K. and Alva Vanderbilt. Tour highlights include the magnificent gothic room, gold ballroom, and Alva's lavender bedroom. Mehr erfahren.
The Elms is the coolest of the mansions I saw in Newport. It is a must see. Very real, I could actually envision the people living and partying here.
Only the fireplaces and chandeliers are original to the home, but the ballroom and staircase are what makes it worthy to visit. No audio tours, but scheduled guided ones.
A wonderful walk through history for adults and kids to enjoy and learn!! I highly recommend this place as a stop while in Newport. Remember to leave a donation, please!!
Take a snack and "picnic" somewhere along this stunning, serpentine, 3.5-mile walk along some of the most amazing mansions in the world. Watch for bumblebees pollinating the wild flowers. -WV Mehr erfahren.
When you get to the end of the steps, go onto the rocks and around the base of the staircase to find a cool alcove in the rocks - and a great spot for a group photo.
All kinds of stuff do see and do here: Tour the Fort, Museum of Yachting, see Eisenhower House, Sail Newport Sailing Center and much more. Mehr erfahren.

Drive into the sunset on your way here and stay until the sun is completely gone. Extremely scenic for a road trip.
