Newport Mansions

What are the ';must see mansions in Newport';?



Also can I get to the mansions via of the cliffwalk?



Newport Mansions


The most popular is the Breakers. The five main mansions are Rosecliff, where most of the weddings are held and movies like Amistad, True Lies and The Great Gatsby where filmed, Marble House (another vanderbuilt house), The Breakers (summer house of Cornielous Vanderbuilt), The Elms (has great art and gardens), and Chateau Su-Mer. And you can%26#39;t get to the mansions from the cliffwalk but there are side streets that you can get to the Breakers from. There are trolly%26#39;s that go around to all the mansions and there is ample parking at all of the mansions. Hope this helps.

I liked Breakers %26amp; Elms the best. Marblehouse was ok-I really liked the living room there. The ones that had audio tours I would recommend listening to some of the stories about the people that used to live there.. Rosecliff%26#39;s staircase was nice but I did not enjoy the rest of the house at all.




Definitely include The Breakers and The Elms. As far as getting around, RIPTA (RI Public Transit Authority) has trolleys that go between many tourist attractions. Here%26#39;s the site address:
