Recommendation
For the fastest and most convenient option, I recommend traveling by air with American Airlines or Delta Air Lines. This allows you to minimize travel time, especially if looking to maximize your time in Providence. Booking in advance can help you secure competitive pricing. However, if you prefer a more scenic route and have the time, consider taking the Amtrak train for a more relaxed experience, or drive to enjoy the journey at your own pace!
