4 days in Providence Itinerary

Providence has undergone a major upgrade in recent years, transforming from a rough-around-the-edges industrial city into an epicenter of culture.

Get out of town with these interesting Providence side-trips: Sandwich Glass Museum (in Sandwich), Plymouth (Plimoth Patuxet Museums & Plymouth Rock) and Mystic Seaport Museum (in Mystic). There's still lots to do: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Roger Williams Park Zoo, steep yourself in history at The Stephen Hopkins House, ponder the world of politics at Rhode Island State House, and admire all the interesting features of Swan Point Cemetery.
