Considering that Rhode Island is the smallest state in the USA there are many interesting things to see and do here! Known officially as Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Rhode Island offers a great variety of attractions, from beautiful coastlines to lots of history.
Both the capital and the largest city of Rhode Island is Providence. This is a really attractive city that features many historical buildings, but attractive and impressive in architecture. The Rhode Island State House is just one of these. It was built in 1901 and has the fourth largest self-supporting marble dome in the world! City Hall is older, built in 1878, and a charming building, while the oldest enclosed shopping mall in the USA can be founding Providence too. It’s called The Arcade and was opened in 1828.

The Coastline of Rhode Island
The state of Rhode Island has over 400 miles of coastline to explore so if you enjoy watching the waves crashing on the shore this is a great state to visit! Along the whole coastline you’ll find some fantastic scenery though there are a few places that stand out above the rest. Block Island is just one of many islands just off the coast of Rhode Island and it’s a popular one with some wonderful hiking opportunities and great beaches.
Elsewhere in the state is Narrangansett, a town that reputedly has the best beaches in the whole of the New England region. While visiting the beach here you can also stay and see the Indian Head, Point Judith Lighthouse, and Narrangansett Towers.
