Boston Weekender
A city of immense charm and character, home of the American Revolution, Boston is one of our favourite cities. It’s small and charming and easily explored on foot, following the Freedom trail painted on the sidewalk. Don’t miss the Common, Beacon Hill and Quincy market, the shopping and galleries of Newbury Street or the chance to hop on the subway to nearby Cambridge, home to the famous Harvard University. Further afield you’ll find the beautiful New England countryside, so popular in the fall foliage season but equally splendid at any time of year.
