Boston - Don't Miss

Venture out of the city's hub to find history, beauty and intellectual strongholds.

On the Fenway, old master paintings and Medici treasures fill the Venetian-styled palazzo of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Take to the sea and learn about history, lighthouses and shipwrecks on a Boston Harbor Tour. Explore the haunts of the 18th-century giants of the written word on The Literary Trail of New England and then relax in Boston Public Garden. Look at the world from the inside in the stained glass globe of the Mary Baker Eddy Library's Mapparium.

Strange but True

The Omni Parker House Hotel has bragging rights regarding literary pursuits and baked goods. The birthplace of Parker House Rolls and Boston cream pie is where Charles Dickens gave his first reading of A Christmas Carol.
