Explore Newport on Foot... or From Your House

A new app merges history and technology

Posted

Want to explore Historic Newport? There’s an app for that – a new walking tour app of the charming city. Visitors to the historic sites and landmarks can actively view images and hear stories using their smart phones. Who better a tour guide then the smart phone held permanently in your hand already? With GPS-enabled interactive maps, the app can locate exactly where you are and familiarize you with the historic sites nearby.

Don’t feel like heading out into the cold? Visit Washington Square, the waterfront of Long Wharf and so much more from the comfort of your home. As long as your phone has an Internet connection, you’re good to go. So whether you are actually visiting Newport or relaxing curled up on the couch, go discover! After all, it’s free.
