Guided Voyager updates destination guidance regularly, but hours, weather, access, and reservations should be checked close to departure.

Before you go

Pick one mansion as the day’s centerpiece. Two can work for enthusiasts, but a third turns architectural grandeur into wallpaper.
Use the forecast to decide when Cliff Walk, sailing, Ocean Drive, and beach time get priority. Keep a mansion, the Tennis Hall of Fame, or Newport Art Museum for rain.
