Description

Walk the streets and take in the exquisite architecture, where Georgian-style properties blend perfectly with modern sky scrapers, and impressive buildings like the Trinity Church, the Massachusetts State House and Faneuil Hall scatter the city.

For a glance in to the past, walk the Freedom Trail, taking you through 16 historically significant sites that document Boston’s part in the fight for independence. Follow the Black History Trail along the quaint streets of Beacon Hill. You should also take a look at the historic ships in the Charleston Navy Yard, visit the JFK Museum and visit the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum.

For the art lovers, the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Museum of fine arts should be on your to do list. Take in a concert at Symphony Hall, or visit one of the many theatres. Another great way to spend a few hours, is to take the tour of Harvard University.

If you’re a sport fanatic, we’d recommend watching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Not only will it be a unique experience, but you’ll get to see one of the oldest operating baseball parks in the country.

For some time out head to Boston’s Public Garden, where the Victorians have created a haven in the heart of the city, with a picturesque lagoon surrounded by vibrant flowers. Alternatively take a stroll along the Charles River Esplanade.

When it comes to shopping and dining head over to South End. It’s an area that is full of character, where its tree lined streets are filled with art galleries, delis, fine dining restaurants and trendy boutiques. Back Bay offers everything from high street stores to designer outlets. For authentic street food, take a trip over to Faneuil Hall Market Place to sample some of the best food Boston has to offer.
