Providence, Rhode Island | Things To Do | Visit The USA

Providence, Rhode Island is a city that rewards curiosity. A world-class art school, centuries of colonial history, a food scene built on craft and one of the most theatrical outdoor events in the USA.

The Rhode Island School of Design Museum, one of the leading art and design museums in the country, anchors the city's creative identity with a collection that covers thousands of years of art and design history. Benefit Street preserves more than a mile of colonial and Federal-era architecture, one of the most historically dense stretches of urban streetscape in New England. The Superman Building, Providence's most recognizable skyline landmark, frames the city from above and Sarto, the rooftop restaurant inside the G building, puts you at the center of it all.

When night falls, WaterFire transforms the rivers of downtown Providence into something genuinely otherworldly, bonfires set on the water, live music drifting through the air and the city gathering around the light. A gondola through Waterplace Park slows everything down to a quiet drift through the heart of the city. Knead Donuts is the perfect way to end the night or start the next morning.
