More than just your basic, garden variety city of buildings,
restaurants, hotels and traffic congestion, Boston has a one-of-a-kind
personality. Here are just a few examples:
Historic Faneuil Hall with its dining and shopping options and festive
environment with street vendors and entertainment
The European flair of Newbury St., -- the perfect place to dine at an
outdoor cafe or shop (or window shop) high-end style
The charming, quaint Beacon Hill with its brick sidewalks, gas lamps
and million dollar brownstone neighborhoods
The trendy South End with its diverse lifestyles, arts scene, and
small, quaint restaurants
An oasis called the Boston Public Garden featuring scenic places to
stroll, beautiful flowers and the famous Swan Boat Rides in the summer
and the Frog Pond for skating in the winter
The Italian neighborhood charm and delicious homemade Italian-style
pizza and baked goods in the North End of Boston
A high concentration of area universities and colleges like Boston
University, Boston College, Northeastern University, Harvard
University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Simmons College
that contribute to a cultural vibe and many events and attractions for
students and public, alike
The Fens and Kenmore Square, known for its thriving nightlife
scene and
as home of the amazing Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox
Many famous museums like the Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science,
Boston, the New England Aquarium, John F. Kennedy Museum and Library,
and the USS Constitution.
History is well intact, including the 2.5 Freedom Trail Walk with many
sites that give you a clue to what was behind the American Revolution
and what ultimately led to our freedoms. Like any city, you'll find a
fantastic variety of restaurants and lodging. Add roads that go
this-way-and-that-way -- having no relation to a logical grid -- and
some of the most crazy drivers in the country just adds to the charm,
although this aspect can get a bit annoying.
We are happy and honored to help you in your research of a Boston
vacation. Here, we put ourselves in your position: if we were
visiting Boston, what travel and vacation attractions would we want to
see -- and where would we start the research process? While this is not
an all encompassing Boston travel guide, we offer you what counts the
most: places we have been and, therefore, can recommend from
experience and straight-from-the-heart. I will be adding to this Boston
travel guide frequently, as every time I visit the city something seems
to change significantly. It's a city I barely recognize from when
growing up in the 1970s. What remains, however, shows remarkable
historical preservation and significance and what is new typically
makes the community that much better. It is really wicked awesome here!
Without further delay, welcome to your online locally-driven Boston
travel guide with articles from VisitingNewEngland.com, and its two
blogs, The Thrifty New England Travel and The New England Travel and
Vacation Gazette. Happy travels!
