Boston Vacation Guide

Having found itself at the heart of a number of cultural revolutions over the years, and a centre of anything from religious freedom to philosophy, Boston is nevertheless an averaged sized and unassuming city. It’s progressive, barrier-breaking outlook and prominent role in American visual arts, however, push the case for promoting it’s massive contribution to liberal American culture, and help justify the city’s controversial ‘Athens of America’ tag and astounding international reputation.

You’ll probably want to immerse yourself in the city’s impressive history, and a good place to start is by following the neatly laid out freedom trail. It’ll take you through sixteen important sites; everything from Boston Common (America’s oldest public path) to the Bunker Hill Monument, with plenty in the way of revolutionary landmarks to ogle on the way.

If you want to get a feel for New England, you can do that without even leaving the city, too. Head for Boston Harbor, where you can camp out under the stars on one of the narrow islands, or scramble around a ruined fort on your hands and knees before taking a frosty dip in the North Atlantic. Follow it up with a trip to the patriotic Samuel Adams brewery, and wash away the shivers with a sample and an insight into the beer making process.

It wouldn’t be Boston, of course, without a passion for baseball, and a visit to Fenway Park is an essential part of the Boston experience. Once you’ve had a hot dog and several large beers in front of a game and soaked up the local’s passion, head for one of the countless cultural events that Boston’s become known for: from the latest art exhibition to a thumping music scene, there’s plenty to keep you busy, especially around Independence Day, when the harbor becomes the heart of a mammoth cultural festival. You can save a small fortune on it all by snapping up a Boston City Pass early on in your trip.

A liberal take on American cultural tradition lies deep in Boston’s core, making it an enjoyable and ever important city. Dive into its eclectic heart, and make the most of it.

Sunday morning I was awoken some time in the middle of the night by a sound which I was sure was a mouse scratching something in or near the living room. I was mostly asleep, half delirious, and mostly just annoyed that this was waking me up, as I was sleeping next to a window and there was plenty …

One of the hard and fast Kretzer Rules of Travel is “If a city has a subway system, use it” This is because it will suck to try drive yourself around. I know this. I have learned this the hard way in Washington DC, and a little bit in Chicago. I have been to Boston before, and used the subway. …

Finally we landed in Boston about a half hour late which was not good at all! To add to that, we were delayed getting to our gate to unload because they were not ready for our plane. I couldn’t figure that one out since we were late to start with, but we’re here and that’s all that matters. W…
