Boston - Highlights
Boston certainly makes a spectacle of itself when seen from Spectacle Island. You'll be anxious for a closer look.
First-time visitor? Follow the Freedom Trail. The four-kilometre redbrick line commemorating the American Revolution wanders from the Boston Common to Beacon Hill, the North End and the Bunker Hill Monument across the river. The eclectic Museum of Fine Arts has so much to offer it's impossible to see it all in one day.
Explore the intellectual enclave of Harvard University & Harvard Square in Cambridge. Take the red line T to JFK/Umass station to learn about the life of the USA's 35th president at the John F Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum. Outside is a panoramic view of the harbour. Travel downtown to see underwater creatures make a splash at the New England Aquarium.
Purchase a CityPass to get discounted admissions for five museums and attractions. The GoBoston Card offers one to multi-day free admissions plus shopping, restaurant and lodging discounts.
