Discover American history and hospitality in Boston
The gateway to New England and the historic capital of the east coast, Boston has all the red-brick charm and seasonal beauty you would expect from this colonial city. As one of America’s oldest cities, founded in 1630 by English colonists and achieving city status in 1822, social history and a strong sense of self is everywhere, with proud Bostonians usually all too happy to share their fascinating city with inquisitive guests.
Not only is Boston perhaps America’s most historic city, but it is also the culture hub of New England, and it’s not hard to see why. Hop on one of the many city tours, like Old Town Trolley Tours of Boston, for an entertaining snapshot of the city’s highlights, including Bunker Hill, the USS Constitution (Old Ironside) and the Hancock Tower.
Renowned for many firsts in the worlds of design, medicine and architecture, walking around the city you can’t help but notice how proud Boston is of its achievements. The Museum of Science is a hands-on interactive experience which in itself usually takes several visits to get round entirely, and much grand colonial architecture can of course be enjoyed for free on a walk round the city, like the Old South Meeting House, the Paul Revere House and the Federal Quincy Market.
Made up of wide expansive streets that are dotted with reminders of the American Revolution, many quirky and characterful neighbourhoods and green spaces are worth meandering into to get a real feel for the place. Boston Common, near the Federal-style Beacon Hill district, is the oldest public park in the United States and is one of a series of parks surrounding the city, dubbed the Emerald Necklace after the city’s strong Irish population. Boston’s North End is the oldest residential area in the city, dating right back to 1630 and is today the place to eat, as more than 100 restaurants inhabit the half square-mile quarter, garnering it the nickname Little Italy. For an afternoon’s shopping, high-end stores and quirky boutiques line Newbury Street and the Back Bay district is where the towering John Hancock Building marks Copely Square; where landmarks like Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library sit side-by-side with the upscale Copley Place shopping plaza.
The reputation of ‘Athens of America’ is deserved, as Boston is renowned as a college town thanks to Greater Boston being home to more than 100 universities and colleges. This concentrated centre of education is most prominent in Cambridge, which though only a few miles from the heart of Boston, is in fact a city in itself. Hop on the bus over the Charles River Basin and explore the prestigious grounds of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as you follow in the footsteps of alumni such as John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, T.S. Eliot, Matt Damon and Buzz Aldrin. With countless Boston hotels to choose from, and white picket fences of Cape Cod just across the bay, there’s plenty to discover.
