What to expect

Explore Rhode Island's capital city on a self-guided driving audio tour and discover the city's history, culture, and architecture.

Start your self-driving adventure from the Convention Center downtown and head into the historic Federal Hill area, home to both history and the city's best restaurants.

Enter the Welcome Gateway, featuring the iconic pineapple, and learn about how this neighborhood grew and changed over the years — including the infamous Macaroni Riots and the secret of the Coin-O-Matic.

Continue past the 9-acre park which was a gift from one of the greatest philanthropists in Providence's history. Explore the wonderous Wedding Cake House, a 3-story historic house located in the Broadway-Armory Historic District, and other architectural marvels, such as the State House and Barnaby Castle.

Finish your tour at the Lippitt House Museum, a National Historic Landmark. It is one of the finest Italianate mansion houses in the state and is considered one of the best-preserved examples of Victorian-era houses in the US.
