Boston
Boston is an attractive historic city, yet it has a young feel to it with a variety of universities located in and around the city. A compact city, it is easy to explore by foot and is considered to be one of America’s most walkable cities. Boston is also a convenient gateway to the beautiful New England countryside, so you can either enjoy a city break or combine a few days in Boston with an independent fly drive holiday touring New England or head for the superb beaches of Cape Cod.
