Once again Newport, RI is getting the national attention it deserves as a premier travel destination in the United States. This time, Fodors has named Newport a Top 10 Most Romantic U.S. Destination to spend the Holiday Season. Our City by the Sea joins such beautiful spots as New York City, New Orleans, Jackson Hole and Charleston, SC.
Here’s what they had to say:
Why wait for Valentine’s Day? There’s plenty of romance in December in cities across the country, made even more special with a dash of holiday magic. So snuggle up close with the one you love and experience the warmth of these most romantic Christmas towns.
Add a dash of Gilded Age romance to your holiday in the harbor town of Newport. The Newport Mansions—built by the rich-and-famous at the turn-of-the-20th-century—offer Holiday Evenings at the Newport Mansions, including live music, refreshments, and the chance to stroll exquisitely decorated, softly lit rooms. Here, too, you can attend the Governor’s Ball, take a Holiday Lantern Tour of Newport’s old town, and stroll among twinkling lights along the harbor’s Victorian-age avenues. There’s no shortage of cozy eateries to share a table for two—try White Horse Tavern, America’s oldest tavern (1673), super comfy with a roaring fire, low beamed ceilings, and delish seasonal dishes on the menu.
