Tourist travel tips and transfers while in Providence
As the capital of the smallest state in the U.S., many expect Providence to be small and unimportant, but there’s nothing small about this growing and bustling metropolis. The city is filled with an eclectic mix of urban modernization as well as 19th-century homes that surround the urban streets, making for a hip but quaint atmosphere.
If you have some time on a layover, instead of staying at the airport you could explore this gem of a city. Providence is a fun city to spend time and it has a small, close-knit feel and is pedestrian friendly so it is easy to explore. You could take a shared ride van or taxi to the city. About 10 miles from the Airport is the RISD museum, which is well worth visiting. There are guest lectures and you can view historical art.
A few miles away from the airport, is another historical treat at the John D. Memorial. It is a beautifully constructed building which is surrounded by flowers. This historic site also serves as a park for handicapped children. You could stroll through the greenery or sit and read a book and have a relaxing time before your flight.
If you are traveling with kids who are tired and cranky from the trip and need to stretch their legs, take them to the Roger Williams Park and Zoo which located not far from the airport. The Zoo offers a huge variety of animals and has some great exhibits that the kids will love.
