Welcome To Providence, RI

Home to seven institutions of higher learning, Providence is also well known to have the most coffee houses and restaurants per capita. Visitors find numerous historical sites as the city is one of the oldest in the country. Popular destinations include the John Brown House Museum, the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium and the Providence Children's Museum.
