Holidays in Boston

Boston holidays are all about exploring this historic city, known as the 'walking city', on foot as there's so much to see. For a comprehensive tour, walk the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail, which links sixteen of Boston's important historical landmarks including Boston Common, Faneuil Hall and the Paul Revere House dating from 1680.

Leave some space in your suitcase, as holidays to Boston are a shopper's paradise; first opened in 1908, Filene's Basement of Boston is the country's oldest and most renowned off-price store, selling designer and brand name apparel at bargain prices. The original building is closed until spring 2009 for refurbishments but you can still bag the bargains at the Back Bay store on Boylston Street.

For those wanting a true American sporting experience on their Boston holiday, head to Fenway Park to catch the Boston Red Sox in action, complete with hot dogs, beer and peanuts! Or catch the Patriots in action at American Football or the Celtics at basketball.

On holidays in Boston, you can sample the wide range of famous foodie delights - clam chowder, crab cakes, cranberries and of course Ben & Jerry's ice cream located in Waterbury, Vermont. Further a field in the rest of the New England region you'll find the rolling White Mountains of New Hampshire and Green Mountains of Vermont and the beautiful beaches of Cape Cod.
