See & Do
Plenty to See and Do in Newport Vermont

Shopping

At the end of your day traveling the Northeast Kingdom, rest assured you will find just what you need in Downtown Newport.

Newport offers a quiet beauty, friendly faces and an abundance of opportunities for a unique and genuine small-town experience that residents are proud of and visitors are charmed by.

Newport. Genuine by nature.

Local, independent merchants offer a variety of goods and services from hardware, to children's games and toys, books, magazines, cards and WiFi to health food, groceries, kitchen supplies, to great gifts, flowers, jewelry, fine clothing and a variety of dining options.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner … tea-time or coffee-break… at cafés offering farm to table fresh food and locally made pastries or restaurants offering specialties that will satisfy and delight you!

What's more, you won't get lost in the shuffle because each store offers the Vermont style of personal service and attention, often from the owner of the shop or eatery.

As you walk along Newport's historic Main Street you'll spy majestic views of the international Lake Memphremagog between the buildings. To enjoy the full panorama, head down Seymour Street to the overlook or stroll the boardwalk at the water's edge. Since these views are only steps away from Newport's stores and restaurants, you won't have to make a choice between enjoying the beauty of the lake and shopping!

Newport sets the table, lays out the welcome mat and welcomes old friends and new acquaintances with the promise of an experience that is close to home, yet far from the ordinary.

Welcome! Bienvenue!
