The Best Places To Go in May

Experience a spring awakening in Amsterdam, a famed sailing race in Newport, and so much more…

Town&Country has come out with a list of the best places to visit in the world for the month of May and Newport, RI made the list!

Here’s what they had to say about our fair City by The Sea:

Recognized as one of the country’s most lucrative sailing hubs, Newport will play host to this year’s Volvo Ocean Race on May 19th and 20th. The competition, hailed as “the Everest of professional sailing,” is worth planning a trip around—but if you can’t make it for the actual race, not to worry: the area will be abuzz starting May 8, once the Race Village opens. While you’re in town, you’ll also want to explore the Gilded Age mansions along Newport’s famed Cliff Walk and dine at a few cozy waterfront restaurants. Check out our full guide to Newport here.
