BOSTON

Boston

Pack your walking shoes, because this compact city is perfect to explore on foot. Begin your adventures in Boston with a leisurely wander through its neighbourhoods, each has its own personality and will reveal plenty about the charms of the city. Delve into the USA’s history on the Freedom Trail, which passes through 16 of the most important city sights – after all, the American Revolution began here! Then just 10 minutes drive from the city is Cambridge, home to the famous Harvard University. Soak up the culture of academia or travel further afield and explore the stunning scenery at every turn in the New England region.
