It is approximately 33 miles southeast of Providence, RI. 74 miles south of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/day-trips-from-boston\/\">Boston, MA<\/a>, and 180 miles northeast of New York City.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Go\"><\/span>When to Go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To truly enjoy Newport you will want to avoid the winter months. Except for Christmas time, most of the major attractions close down for the season. The city lights up for the holidays, so if you are looking to visit during December there will be lots to see.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Summer is great for those looking to also check out the beaches in Newport. Thanks to the cool coastal breeze the weather will be nice to explore all that the city has to offer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Late spring or early fall will be the best times to enjoy Newport. You will get to see all that it has to offer while avoiding the large summer crowds. Most of the major attractions will still be open to enjoy. You can tour the mansions or take a sailing tour around the Harbor.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay\"><\/span>Where to Stay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The best spots to stay in Newport will be downtown at a place on the water. This will give you the best of both worlds, closeness to all that is happening, and beautiful views of the harbor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If downtown is not your scene, the great thing about Newport is that the entire city is walkable. Any location will be great and is only a short distance to get to most of the main attractions in the area.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"stay22-widget\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/embed\/6436cc6d6be656003ca5fced\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_do_in_Newport_Rhode_Island\"><\/span>Things to do in Newport, Rhode Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-31113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Sightseeing in Newport Rhode Island\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Sightseeing-in-Newport-Rhode-Island.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tour_the_mansions\"><\/span>Tour the mansions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you do one thing in Newport, then let it be a tour of the mansions along the coast.

You can opt to do all it or a part of it. Either way, you will get spectacular views of the coast. Plan your trip by mapping out how you want to do the walk. Keep in mind that the 3.5-mile stretch is one way. If you plan to park at one end and do the walk there and back your mileage will double. Another option is to walk back on Mansion road to make your trip slightly under 7 miles. You can also opt to do the full walk and take a trolley back to the area where you parked your car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are different parts of the Cliff Walk and each has a level of difficulty.
