Boston is one of the USA’s oldest cities, with a rich history stretching back to the earliest settlers in the country.

Starting out as a small settlement of English Puritans, Boston went on to be pivotal in the Civil War and American Revolution, and continues to be an important city as the capital of Massachusetts and the unofficial capital of New England.

Alongside the history and fantastic brownstone architecture, Boston is now a very modern city, with impressive skyscrapers such as the Prudential Tower standing side by side with the old churches and buildings which spawned the very creation of the United States.

With such a rich history of being a home to new immigrants to the country, Boston is also an incredibly diverse city, where you can enjoy a pint in an Irish pub in the North End, or one of the tastiest meals in town in Chinatown.

Some of the main attractions in Boston include Fenway Park which is home to the Boston Red Sox baseball team, and the world famous Harvard University.

To take in all of the historic sights Boston has to offer, we recommend following The Freedom Trail, a route through downtown Boston which takes you past 16 of the city’s most famous landmarks such as Faneuil Hall, and is essentially its own outdoor museum.

If it’s shopping that you’re after you’ll find luxury boutiques in Charles Street, Copley Place and Newbury Street, or head to the Garment District to pick up a bargain.

It’s a relatively compact city, meaning that you can see most of the sights on foot. One popular plan is to see Boston in a couple of days, before taking the four hour drive down to New York.
