Boston

Boston Public Library

Boston Public Library is one of the largest in the United States and home to more than 24 million individual items. Designated as a Boston landmark, it is one of the most important buildings in the city and one visited as much by tourists as it is by locals.

Fenway Park

A ticket to watch a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park is one of the hottest in town, and whilst you might struggle to catch a baseball game as a result, you can still visit the famous old ballpark for a special tour - which are held on a daily basis.

Museum of Fine Arts

Founded in the 1870s, the Museum of Fine Arts is home to one of the most comprehensive collections of art anywhere in the United States - comprising of hundreds of thousands of individual pieces. A collection of Japanese art is particularly popular with the large number of visitors who walk through the doors every year, being the biggest collection of its type outside Japan.

Public Garden

The Public Garden provides an oasis of calm in the heart of Boston and was the first public botanical garden in the United States. It’s a great place to take a stroll whilst marvelling at a number of impressive statues that includes one of George Washington - a Founding Father and the first President of the United States.

Cheers

Located close the Public Garden in Beacon Hill sits Cheers, the bar made famous by the hit TV show featuring the likes of Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Woody Harrelson and Shelley Long. Pay a visit and you can sit with a beer in the same bar that inspired the show and perhaps earn a place on the 'Wall of Fame' by completing the Norm Burger Challenge.

Union Oyster House

Union Oyster House is one of the oldest restaurants in Boston, if not the USA, having served its first customer all the way back in 1826. As the name suggests, oysters are the go to option on the menu, which also serves all manner of seafood dishes.

Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile long walk that winds from Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument and takes in a total of 16 historical sites within the city. The trail is marked largely with brick which makes it easy to follow and includes things like the site of the Boston Massacre, the Benjamin Franklin statue and Paul Revere House - the colonial home of the famous artist.

USS Constitution

The USS Constitution is also located on the Freedom Trail and is one of the oldest ships in the world to still be afloat to this day. Launched in the late 1700s, the wooden frigate saw duty in battle during the War of 1812 and was used as a training vessel in the American Civil War. Now berthed in Boston, the ship can be visited for public tours from Sunday through to Thursday.
