There are 39 cities and towns in Rhode Island. Some of the major ones are:
Providence - The state capital, largest city and main commercial center. Unless you plan to spend the entire week at the beach, find some time to get to Providence.
Central Falls - Spanning merely one square mile, it is one of the most densely populated cities in the world.
East Greenwich - Founded in 1677, its historic district along Main Street features charming shops, excellent restaurants, and a community theater.
Newport - Located on Aquidneck Island. Once the darling city of the American elite, it is famous for yachting, mansions, and jazz.
Pawtucket - Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution
South Kingstown, including the villages of Kingston, West Kingston, Matunuck, Peacedale and Wakefield.
Warwick - home of TF Green Airport, two malls, and "Gaspee Days," it is an easy (and less expensive) place to land from your flight, and rent a hotel room and car.
Woonsocket - Once known as "Little Quebec", it has the largest French-speaking population in Rhode Island. Today, French is rarely heard, replaced by English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
