Шта да очекујете
1
Информативни центар за посетиоце Њупорта
Наше путовање почиње у центру Њупорта, одмах поред центра за посетиоце Њупорта. Док крећемо у срце Њупорта, заронићемо у прошлост да бисмо сазнали више о Њупортовом врхунцу: позлаћеном добу. Ово доба ноувеау богатих америчких елита попут Вандербилтова и Астора обележиле су прелепе вила. Истражићемо архитектуру и архитекте иза ових дизајна као погон.
2
Међународна тениска кућа славних
На раскрсници Међународне тениске куће славних, скренућемо на чувену авенију Беллевуе - најскупљу авенију у Америци. Ускоро ћемо видети највеличанственије куће икада изграђене у овој земљи... шаљиво познате као "летње кућице". Можете изабрати да паузирате овде да бисте погледали Кућу славних, у којој се налазе великани тениса.
3
Тхе Елмс
Коначно ћемо видети Брестове. Ово ремек-дело је дизајнирано за барона угља Едварда Јулијуса Бервинда и инспирисано француским Цхатеау д'Асниерес. Овде ћемо желети да успоримо што је више могуће да чујемо о Бервиндима -- и можда се увучемо у обилазак!
4
Цхепстов
Док будемо путовали, проћи ћемо поред Чепстоуа, прелепе италијанске куће музеја изграђене 1860. године. О његовом првобитном становнику се обично не говори у историјама Њупорта... али има дугу везу и са раним америчким насељеницима и са новим... богатство позлаћеног доба. Можемо се зауставити и овде у обиласку.
5
Оцхер Цоурт
Окер суд ће нам одмах ухапсити очи! Ова дворска вила коштала је 4,5 милиона долара... 1892. И то се свакако види! Сада центар Салве Регина универзитета, ова вила није отворена за обиласке... али то нас неће спречити да сазнамо све о њеној богатој и фасцинантној историји!
6
Тхе Бреакерс
Коначно, стижемо до врхунца Њупорта: Брејкерса. Ова вила Вандербилт је највећа и најбоља од свих летњих викендица у Њупорту - и можете рећи. Погледаћемо поред високих капија од кованог гвожђа, дуж вијугавог шљунчаног прилаза, па до величанствене и чудесне фасаде виле. Заронићемо у позадину Вандербилта, архитектонска чуда виле и још много тога док смо овде. Ово је још једна одлична прилика да одете на обилазак.
7
Цхатеау-сур-Мер
Док се враћамо ка авенији Беллевуе, застаћемо да погледамо деликатну лепоту Шато-сур-Мер. Не само да је прва вила позлаћеног доба у Њупорту, већ се може похвалити и једним од најлепших, зелених, пространих вртова. И кућа и баште су отворени за факултативни обилазак.
8
Национални музеј америчке илустрације
Тачно на углу Беллевуеа, застаћемо још једном да бацимо поглед на Вернон Цоурт. У овој вили се налази друга врста блага: Национални музеј америчких илустрација. Обожаваоци Нормана Роквела једноставно не могу да прескоче овај скривени драгуљ.
9
Росецлифф
Росецлифф је следећи на нашем путу. Ово је вероватно најлепши од вила у Њупорту, и садржи ротирајућу изложбену галерију на свом последњем спрату. Ако овде застанете у обиласку, такође ћете се почастити феноменалним погледом на океан.
10
Мермерна кућа
Наше путовање нас сада води поред Марбле Хоусе, једне од најраскошнијих и највеличанственијих вила у Њупорту. Ово чудо позлаћеног доба је још једна Вандербилтова кућа и заправо има једну од најзанимљивијих историја свих вила овде. Сазнаћемо све о Марбле Хоусе и њеним власницима док наставимо даље -- или можете да паузирате овде за обилазак.
11
Белцоурт оф Невпорт
Затим ћемо проћи поред три невероватне куће у низу: Беаулиеу Хоусе, Мирамар и Белцоурт Цастле. Све три ове прелепе виле изграђене су 1800-их и припадале су елити позлаћеног доба. Као и друге виле у Њупорту, оне су икада биле намењене само да се користе као летње куће, а остале су празне до краја године.
12
Музеј Роугх Поинт
Сада смо на крају авеније Беллевуе и кроз дрвеће можемо да назремо кућу у стилу енглеског маноријала: то је Роугх Поинт. Сада је музеј отворен за обиласке, сазнаћемо све о ексцентричном (и вероватно опасном) власнику.
13
Гоосеберри Беацх
Док вијугамо овом сликовитом стазом, уживаћемо у свежем океанском ваздуху и релативном миру. Док се возимо, заронићемо у историју поморства, трговине и јахтања у Њупорту - од којих велики део има своје корене у позлаћеном добу. Док настављамо, можемо изабрати да застанемо на некој од јавних плажа да протегнемо ноге.
14
Државни парк Брентон Поинт
Наше путовање се наставља поред државног парка Брентон Поинт, који се може похвалити величанственим погледом на океан и пространим зеленим травњацима. Покушаћемо да уочимо светионик док настављамо напред.
15
Хаммерсмитх Фарм
Наше путовање нас доводи до Хамерсмит фарме, куће из детињства Џеки Кенеди. Јацкие и ЈФК би се касније вратили у лето овде, уживајући у истом пејзажу, погледу и поветарцу који осећате данас!
16
Државни парк Форт Адамс
Наставићемо и нашу лекцију историје и путовање у Форт Адамс, док истражујемо ово историјско место и његов значај за независност Њупорта.
17
Еастон'с Беацх
Крените у ову сликовиту шетњу на улазу у Цлифф Валк поред плаже Еастон'с. Научићемо нешто о Еастон'с Беацху док будемо кренули на ово путовање, након чега ће одмах уследити кратак поглед на Ченлер. Како настављамо даље, заронимо у историју Њупорта, ефекат позлаћеног доба и стварање Цлифф Валк-а. Такође ћемо научити нешто о породицама "старог новца", као што су Вандербилтови и Астори, чије се величанствене викендице нижу уз Цлифф Валк.

Newport Visitors Information Center
Our journey begins in downtown Newport, just by the Newport Visitor Center. As we set off into the heart of Newport, we'll dive into the past to learn about Newport's hey-day: the Gilded Age. This era of nouveau-riche American elites like the Vanderbilts and Astors has been marked by gorgeous mansions. We'll explore the architecture and architects behind these designs as drive. Note: This 16-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Newport Bundle in 6-7 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.
19
International Tennis Hall of Fame
At the International Tennis Hall of Fame intersection, we'll turn onto the famed Bellevue Avenue -- the most expensive avenue in America. We're about to see the most magnificent homes ever built in this country... facetiously known as "summer cottages". You can choose to pause here to check ou the Hall of Fame, which features tennis greats.
20
The Elms
Finally, we'll see the Elms. This masterpiece was designed for the coal baron Edward Julius Berwind and inspired by France's Château d'Asnières. Here we'll want to slow down as much as possible to hear about the Berwinds -- and maybe pull inside for a tour!
21
Chepstow
As we journey along, we'll pass Chepstow, a gorgeous Italianate house museum built-in 1860. Its original inhabitant isn't usually discussed in Newport histories... but has a long connection to both early American settlers and to the nouveau-riche of the Gilded Age. We can stop here for a tour as well.
22
Ochre Court
Ochre Court will immediately arrest our eyes! This châteauesque mansion cost of $4.5 million... in 1892. And it certainly shows! Now the centerpiece of the Salve Regina University, this mansion isn't open for tours... but that won't stop us from learning all about it's rich and fascinating history!
23
The Breakers
Finally, we reach Newport's highlight: The Breakers. This Vanderbilt mansion is the biggest and the best of all of Newport's summer cottages -- and you can tell. We'll look past the towering wrought-iron gates, along the winding gravel drive, and up to the majestic and marvelous mansion's facade. We'll dive into the Vanderbilt backstory, the mansion's architectural wonders, and much more while here. This is another great opportunity to hop out for a tour.
24
Chateau-sur-Mer
As we head back towards Bellevue Avenue, we'll pause to check out the delicate beauty of Chateau-sur-Mer. Not only is the first Gilded Age mansion in Newport, but it also boasts one of the most beautiful, green, sprawling gardens. Both the house and the gardens are open for an optional tour.
25
National Museum of American Illustration
Right on the corner of Bellevue, we'll pause once again for a glimpse of Vernon Court. This mansion holds a different type of treasure inside: the National Museum of American Illustrations. Norman Rockwell fans simply can't skip this hidden gem.
26
Rosecliff
Rosecliff is next on our path. This is arguably the most beautiful of the Newport Mansions, and it contains a rotating exhibition gallery on it's top floor. If you pause here for a tour, you'll also be treated to phenomenal ocean views.
27
Marble House
Our journey now takes us past Marble House, one of the most opulent and magnificent of Newport's Mansions. This Gilded Age marvel is another Vanderbilt home, and actually has one of the most interesting histories of all the mansions here. We'll learn all about Marble House and it's owners as we continue onwards -- or you can pause here for a tour.
28
Belcourt of Newport
We'll then pass three amazing homes in a row: Beaulieu House, Miramar, and Belcourt Castle. All three of these beautiful mansions were built in the 1800s and belonged to Gilded Age elites. Like the other Newport mansions, they were only ever intended to be used as summer homes, and left vacant for the rest of the year.
29
Rough Point Museum
We're now at the end of Bellevue Avenue and can catch a glimpse of an English Manorial style home through the trees: that's Rough Point. Now a museum open for tours, we'll learn all about it's the eccentric (and possibly dangerous) owner.
30
Gooseberry Beach
As we meander along this scenic path, we'll enjoy the fresh ocean air and relative calm. As we drive, we'll dive into the history of seafaring, trading, and yachting in Newport -- much of which finds its roots in the Gilded Age. As we continue, we can choose to pause at some of the public beaches to stretch our legs.
31
Brenton Point State Park
Our journey continues past Brenton Point State Park, which boasts magnificent ocean views and sprawling green lawns. We'll try to spot the lighthouse as we continue forward.
32
Hammersmith Farm
Our journey brings us to Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jackie Kennedy. Jackie and JFK would later return to summer here, enjoying the same scenery, views, and breeze that you feel today!
33
Fort Adams State Park
We'll continue both our history lesson and journey into Fort Adams, as we explore this historic site and it's significance to Newport's independence.
34
Easton's Beach
Embark on this scenic walk at the Cliff Walk entrance by Easton's Beach. We'll learn a little about Easton's Beach as we set off on this journey, followed immediately by a short look at the Chanler. As we continue along, we'll dive into Newport's history, the effect of the Gilded Age, and the Cliff Walk's creation. We'll also learn a little about the "old-money" families, like the Vanderbilts and Astors, whose grand summer cottages line the Cliff Walk.

78
Marble House
Our journey now takes us past Marble House, one of the most opulent and magnificent of Newport's Mansions. This Gilded Age marvel is another Vanderbilt home, and actually has one of the most interesting histories of all the mansions here. We'll learn all about Marble House and it's owners as we continue onwards -- or you can pause here for a tour.
79
Belcourt of Newport
We'll then pass three amazing homes in a row: Beaulieu House, Miramar, and Belcourt Castle. All three of these beautiful mansions were built in the 1800s and belonged to Gilded Age elites. Like the other Newport mansions, they were only ever intended to be used as summer homes, and left vacant for the rest of the year.
80
Rough Point Museum
We're now at the end of Bellevue Avenue and can catch a glimpse of an English Manorial style home through the trees: that's Rough Point. Now a museum open for tours, we'll learn all about it's the eccentric (and possibly dangerous) owner.
81
Gooseberry Beach
As we meander along this scenic path, we'll enjoy the fresh ocean air and relative calm. As we drive, we'll dive into the history of seafaring, trading, and yachting in Newport -- much of which finds its roots in the Gilded Age. As we continue, we can choose to pause at some of the public beaches to stretch our legs.
82
Brenton Point State Park
Our journey continues past Brenton Point State Park, which boasts magnificent ocean views and sprawling green lawns. We'll try to spot the lighthouse as we continue forward.
83
Hammersmith Farm
Our journey brings us to Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jackie Kennedy. Jackie and JFK would later return to summer here, enjoying the same scenery, views, and breeze that you feel today!
84
Fort Adams State Park
We'll continue both our history lesson and journey into Fort Adams, as we explore this historic site and it's significance to Newport's independence.
85
Easton's Beach
Embark on this scenic walk at the Cliff Walk entrance by Easton's Beach. We'll learn a little about Easton's Beach as we set off on this journey, followed immediately by a short look at the Chanler. As we continue along, we'll dive into Newport's history, the effect of the Gilded Age, and the Cliff Walk's creation. We'll also learn a little about the "old-money" families, like the Vanderbilts and Astors, whose grand summer cottages line the Cliff Walk.

40mins from Newport, RI as this trip was to visit that area and chose this BW to stay at as it was centrally located between the two cities

Tried my first ever car audio tour through Viator for the Newport RI gilded age "cottages." I really enjoyed the narration that shared history and interesting stories not only about the properties, but other notable properties and areas as well. The ease of stopping the audio to walk around a property or tour a mansion was great. I did have some issues with connectivity in one of two places when the audio seemed to skip sections, however overall I really enjoyed it.
