We have spent so much time walking the streets of downtown Newport and recommend walking through the lively waterfront areas of Bowen's Wharf and Bannister’s Wharf or Thames Street. Downtown Newport is home to local shops, beautiful galleries, and alfresco dining spots overlooking boats &amp; the Newport Bridge.

Downtown Newport

An icon staple in Newport! The Hall of Fame and Museum are located at the historic Newport Casino, designed in the 1880s. The Casino’s 13 grass courts are the world’s oldest continuously-used competition grass courts and the only ones open to the public for play. The space also features La Forge - a great lunch &amp; dinner spot!

International Tennis Hall of Fame

Visit the oldest restaurant in the country, and 10th oldest in the world! The White Horse Tavern offers locally sourced food from New England partners.
