In and Around Providence

Brown University is situated in the heard of historic Providence, Rhode Island, approximately one hour south of Boston and three hours north of New York City – both large metropolitan cites assessable by train.  However, you need not travel far to find rich culture and diverse activities in Providence.  Providence is an ethnically- and culturally rich city, with world famous ethnic cuisine scattered in and about the city, as well as a rich mix of colonial architecture on Benefit Street. 

The Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau highlights many attractions located in this area.

We have compiled a quick image gallery of the area. Enjoy!
