Newport! A place known as the sailing capital of the world, a destination for lavish iconic estates, and one that has always played host to some pretty big money!

Today, we are taking you to Newport, RI. A city which may well belong to the tiniest state in the country, but don’t ever let that fool you!

Located on the southern tip of Rhode Island’s Aquidneck Island, this seaside escape played a major role in past ages as the place where American aristocracy would spend their summers.

Recognized as America’s first resort, it was a massive haven for all types of mansions and “summer cottages” from the Victorian era, to the Gilded Age, well into the roaring twenties.

Today, you will find much of Newport’s historic mansions still standing. And if you’ve got a few minutes to spare, you can come along with us on our tour of the most memorable, most outstanding mansions in this most opulent city.

Our tour will take you down its iconic Cliff Walk, then up its posh Bellevue Ave, and to a few random spots we bet you didn’t even know about.

So without further ado, here are the 25 most unbelievable Newport mansions!
