General
Providence Rhode Island Questions and Answers:
Where do you suggest
we stay when we come to Providence?
A nice place is the Old Court
B&B which has antique filled rooms in a
stately brick
building. If you're looking to stay at a classic grand hotel of the
1920's, you can try the Providence Biltmore. If you are
looking for less
pricey chain motels, they are located south of
town near the airport in
Warwick.
I am coming to
Providence with my kids, what are some things they might
enjoy?
If you're traveling with kids, detour south of the city
to the large Roger
Williams Park and its first-rate Roger
Williams Zoo. From downtown, take
I-95 south to exit 17
Elmwood Ave.
I do not plan on renting a car. What is the
public transportation situation
like in Providence?
The
Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) runs buses
around town from its Kennedy Plaza hub and also links Providence with
Newport and other State localities. RIPTA's Providence LINK
Trolley
operates 2 lines from Kennedy Plaza - the Green Line goes
to Federal Hill
and to the East side while the Gold goes to the
State Capitol.
