City centre Providence captures Rhode Island's rich history with its impressive collection of 18th and 19th-century architecture. The golden-domed State House overlooks cobblestone streets lined with colonial mansions. America's oldest indoor shopping centre, the 1828 Providence Arcade, still welcomes visitors with its soaring glass ceiling and boutique shops. The area comes alive during summer evenings when WaterFire illuminates the city centre waterways. Stroll along the scenic Providence River Walkway or catch a performance at the historic Trinity Repertory Company. Local restaurants blend Italian heritage with modern New England cuisine in this walkable cultural centre.
