A beautiful blend of pride in the past and a love of innovation is what makes Boston stand out among cities along the East Coast. This city is a veritable playground for visitors interested in everything from Revolutionary history, eclectic cuisine, live entertainment and comfortable accommodations. All of this and more is located along scenic waterfronts and the stunning Charles River, making for an ideal urban destination.
Although there is a lot to experience, part of Boston’s charm is that its smaller than other cities, so everything can be reached quickly. Begin downtown with a walk down Newbury Street and the always fun Faneuil Hall. Stroll along the classic waterfront and visit the creatures at the aquarium before looping back through Beacon Hill for a peek at classic New England brownstone homes. Then it’s just a quick ride on the MBTA for catching a game at Fenway Park or a tour of the famous Harvard University in Cambridge.
As for food and more fun, have a steaming bowl of clam chowder in a bread bowl or a cannoli in the North End before heading to an award-winning show in the theater district. Finish off a relaxing stay in Boston with anything from a high-end spa treatment to a picnic in Boston Common. So bring a pair of sturdy shoes and an open mind to have an unforgettable experience wandering the fascinating streets of Boston.
