~ The Jewel of the Northeast ~
Seamlessly blending the urban sophistication of a big city with the graceful charm of a small town, Providence is a vibrant and energetic destination that reflects its maverick founding by Roger Williams in 1636 and, from its inception, became the “lively experiment” in religious liberty and church-state separation. Today, gondolas glide along the Providence River, past some of the country’s finest educational institutions. Cobblestone streets lead to restaurants regarded as among the best in America, while a thriving arts and cultural scene helps make this city one of the most desirable places to live and a refreshing place to visit.
