It's rare to find so much history all in one place, but that is exactly what you will find when you encounter Benefit Street's Mile of History. This is perhaps the most impressively concentrated group of original Colonial homes in the country. See the amazing details that adorn the restored houses and churches, and visit the museums that overlook the city's equally historic waterfront. For information about self-guided walking tours, visit the Providence Preservation Society.

There's nothing quite like watching some supercharged live music. In Providence, one of the best places to check out the electric action on stage is The Strand Ballroom. Whether it's rock, rap, country or alternative, you'll find an impressive selection of acts with equally diverse styles regularly on the bill at this nightlife venue. Showtimes and admission prices vary depending on the specific act, so make sure to check the website before heading out.
