5 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Providence: Sandwich Glass Museum (in Sandwich), Mystic Seaport Museum (in Mystic) and Plymouth (Plymouth Rock & Plimoth Patuxet Museums). The adventure continues: learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Roger Williams Park Zoo, enjoy the scholastic atmosphere at Brown University, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, and explore the different monuments and memorials at Swan Point Cemetery.

To find photos, where to stay, other places to visit, and other tourist information, refer to the Providence trip planner.

In October, plan for daily highs up to 66°F, and evening lows to 47°F.
