The streets of Boston are teeming with history. One of the most important cities during the American Revolution, nowadays it’s a cultural hub, with some of the best museums, galleries, and attractions the USA has to offer.
Although an ideal trip for history buffs, Boston holidays deliver much more than a journey into the past. With Boston guided bus tours you can see everything this lively, modern city has to offer, from the important historic sites like the USS Constitution to the bustling student areas around the university. The Museum of Fine Arts is a highlight too, with famous works from all over the globe on show.
Boston also has an incredibly easy city centre to navigate. Hop-off trolleys meander through the Old Town, allowing you to explore everything Boston’s busiest neighbourhood has to offer – including a slew of excellent bars and restaurants.
While it might seem like Boston weekend breaks are an entirely cosmopolitan affair, Boston Harbor means nature isn’t too far away. You can go whale watching on a harbor cruise with experienced tour guides, who are adept at spotting the magnificent mammals (and other aquatic animals). If you’re visiting Boston for longer than a couple of days there are dozens of great day trips available from the city, from the relaxing Martha’s Vineyard to the spooky town of Salem. With something for everyone, there’s nothing stopping you from booking your ideal Boston break with Newmarket Holidays.
