Boston or Beantown is it sometimes called is a great mix of the old and new as is famous for everything from the Red Sox and Paul Revere to Cheers and clam "chowdah." It is the most European of American city's architecturally and culturally and will charm the most discerning traveler. Once considered ultra-conservative, Boston has developed a progressive culture and attitude. It has become one of the most exciting places in New England, with excellent culinary hot spots and an abundance of attractions and sights. I trust that this Boston Tourism Guide will lead you to some of the best places in the Boston area.
It boasts very charming shopping areas, such as Newberry Street and the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, where shoppers who come to the city can take advantage of the competitive prices for all goods thanks to the friendly tax regime. Also there are some huge skyscrapers such as the John Hancock Tower and the Prudential Center which bridge the gap between the old and the new.
If history is your passion, Boston history will fascinate you as there are many old homes and historic buildings that chart the start of the American revolution. Major events such as the Boston tea party and the Boston massacre are vividly brought to life by the many tours of the city. Personally, I find this aspect of Boston its greatest appeal. There is so much history packed into this town regarding our heritage as a nation that a visit here would certainly elicit a new found appreciation for what our forefathers believed.
Also of interest would be the Boston Museum of Science which can also offer the enthusiast a day well spent. As many of its streets were laid out along winding colonial paths, America's "Walking City' is best explored on foot. There are Boston tours that one could go, the Freedom Trail being one of the more popular tourist activities here. With many Boston hotels being situated around the down town area finding accommodation should be a breeze, depending on your budget of course. Boston is more culturally diverse and rich in history than any other American city its size and is sometimes described as the 'Athens of America.'
Boston travel patterns are also fairly simple to learn, because of the extensive user-friendly public transportation system. The "T", as it is affectionately known is the nickname given to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), getting around Boston is relatively easy. Have no fear if you get a little lost, Bostonians are extremely helpful and will gladly help you find your way again. Boston's position in New England also provides a perfect launch pad for numerous tours and outings.
Your enjoyment of Boston will depend slightly on the time of year which you visit Boston. As the weather in New England is very unpredictable and becomes moderately cold in the winter, as well as rather humid in the summer. It's best to get at least a seven day guide before packing. The best times to come touring are May through late September, however, you should be comfortable with no jacket or sweater, which if you are doing walking tours can be of great benefit to you.
