We’ve been showing people what Providence has to offer for over 30 years — come see why they call it the Creative Capital.
Providence is the ideal, up-and-coming small city to visit — enjoy variety, culture, and history without the stress and intensity of a larger city. We’ve got gorgeous architecture, unique shops, and delicious food in every neighborhood.
Large-scale murals and public art cover buildings and street corners all over the city, which makes exploring on foot exciting. Even folks who’ve lived here for years still discover new murals.


Coming from out of town? Book a stay at one of Providence’s fabulous hotels. And there are great places to eat throughout the city — Downtown, the East Side, Federal Hill, College Hill. There’s no end to good food here.
On every Third Thursday Gallery Night, our partners offer attendees a little something extra:
Rhode Island is the only state in America where you can buy art tax-free. Every original and limited-edition work of art sold here is exempt from sales tax — so start your collection and support local artists with one-of-a-kind work.
