Newport Mansion Tours

Besides the iconic 10-mile ocean drive on the historical Bellevue Avenue that you can do to get a beautiful view of the ocean, the Gilded Age mansions, and the state parks, you can also visit these mansions individually or through Newport Travel Trolley Tours which include narrated tours that also grant you admission into multiple mansions.

Boston

Beacon Hill

Charles/MGH Train Station

If you hop off this train station, you will be transported to the historical and romantic brick wall and street neighborhood of Beacon Hill. You will find a myriad of boutique shops, hidden restaurants down alleys, and narrow streets including Acorn street as one of the most picturesque streets in America. You'll also get to enjoy the leisure walk alongside the Charles River with the view of Boston skyline or plan a picnic at the Boston Public Garden with this cozy, antique filled atmosphere. All of these activities are walking distance from each other and why this neighborhood is our most favorite spot in Boston!

North End Italian District

The North End neighborhood (also called "Little Italy") is your go-to spot for the smells and sounds of Italy along the narrow streets. This is where you'll find Italian restaurants, coffeehouses, pastry shops and old-schooled delis. From the Haymarket train station, you will soon cross the Union Oyster House, the oldest continually-operating restaurant in the U.S, and Marshall St, where most Hollywood movie shootings took place in Boston. This is also where Quan and Hannah first had dinner together at our favorite Italian restaurant The Daily Catch (with our maid of honor Arim).

Newbury Street

If New York City has Fifth Avenue, then Boston has its own version of that with the Newbury Street as the most famous shopping street and where Hannah spends way more time here than she should. This is the popular shopping and dining district located in the Back Bay neighborhood ranging from many upscale boutique shops with designer clothing to more affordable clothing and non-clothing stores. The street is adjacent to both the shopping mall Prudential Center and the famous Boston Public Library with the beautiful Harry Porter-style study hall and marble architecture. This area is truly one of the most bustling parts of the city.

Seaport

If Beacon Hill is what we considered "old money" then Seaport is definitely "new money" with recently built high-rises with large glass windows on the water front. This is the most modern and contemporary part of the city with sleek restaurants, museums, art galleries, and beautiful skyline views overlooking Boston Harbor.
