We’ll then head up to Brown University for a charming view of the city, stroll through its peaceful gardens, and discover one of Providence’s oldest and most hidden libraries.
The walk continues with another stunning city view before we make our way downtown, passing through the oldest shopping mall in the country—an architectural gem with stories of its own.
To end, we’ll follow the river’s edge, guided by the sound of the water and the city’s charm—more than a walk, it’s a journey through the soul of Providence.
Our route is about 3 miles long with negligible elevation gain. Participants should be capable of walking this distance at a moderate pace (35 min/mile).
