Newport, Rhode Island is a beautiful getaway destination on New England's lovely Aquidneck Island, historically known as the home of the renowned America's Cup sailing regatta until the late 20th century. The beautiful Gilded Age-era resort town is home to many preserved mansions that have been converted into living history museums, including the iconic 1895 Breakers, a residence for the Vanderbilts that was modeled after the gorgeous European palaces of the Renaissance era. Gilded Age mansions line the city's majestic Bellevue Avenue, which is also home to delicious gourmet restaurant destinations. Couples can also enjoy year-round recreational experiences at beautiful Fort Adams State Park, which hosts an annual summer concert series on warm evenings.
