๐บ๐ธ Newport Travel Guide (Car-Free Edition!) ๐๐
Perfect for those without a car! Hereโs how to explore Newport easily and affordably: ๐ Transportation: Took the train from Boston to Providence (weekend pass only $10! ๐ฐ). Depart from either South Station or Back Bay Station. For northern destinations, use North Station. ๐๏ธ Cliff Walk Guide: From Providence, take the 60 bus ($2) to Newport Visitor Center (final stop). Transfer to the 67 bus (free!) to Cliff Walk South End. The trail has three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Difficult. โ ๏ธ Difficult section: Rocky, slippery, and challenging โ especially after rain! Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. ๐ฅพ๐ง Thereโs a platform midway to rest and enjoy the view. Note: You canโt enter mansions directly from the trail โ youโll need to exit and walk around. ๐ฐ Mansion Hopping: 1๏ธโฃ The Breakers ๐ฌ Filming location for The Great Gatsby! European-style grandeur (3rd floor is closed to the public). Crowded but worth it โ follow the designated route. 2๏ธโฃ Marble House ๐ Famous for its stunning marble construction and Golden Room (filled with gold details!). Nearby Chinese Tea House is a cute spot. Tip: If short on time, pick one mansion โ Marble House requires extra walking from Cliff Walk. ๐ Final Tips: Donโt enter private mansions! โ Pack water, snacks, and wear comfy shoes. Check weather before going โ rain makes trails slippery! #TravelGuide #NewportRI #CarFreeTravel #BostonToNewport #CliffWalk #MansionTours #BudgetTravel
