Newport is a tender port so get off early to avoid a long wait
There is a free trolley, number 67 that goes from the harbour to the mansions, cliff walk and old town. It begins at 8:40 am and run about 12 hours. It’s every 10 minutes starting at 10 am.
The cliff walk is free, paved and great views of the water and mansions.
The Newport art museum is small and $10 for seniors. I felt like I gave a donation as it took less than 30 minutes to see everything . The building is beautiful and the exhibitions change frequently
Newport is extremely busy on weekends so you will knock elbows with lots of people
Shopping is expensive with tee shirts starting at $30 usd, and it’s not a souvenirs stop
The harbour is terrific with multiple sail boats and yachts. Just sit on the ship or on a bench in the harbour parks of which there are many. You will see sailboats racing
The synagogue is worth a visit as is St Mary’s church where JFK married Jackie
Lovely port to visit
Hope this helps
