    Advantages Advantages Plenty to see do, and eat! Nice people.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Taxi drivers especially recruited to make you feel like you know the place better.

    Sorry about the title, but prepare to do a lot of eating if you go to Boston. FROM ONE EX-COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX TO ANOTHER Where do you start with describing an entire city; particularly one like Boston where I’ve recently spent 8 highly-enjoyable days? When my wife first announced that we were going there, I must admit I did have some trepidation. After all, more than a week in a busy city didn’t sound like a formula for a relaxing break. However, factor in the means by which we went there, already documented in another opinion on Amtrak, and also the nature of our accommodation and you’ll see ... more

    4 Stars In Boston They Sleep in Their Trousers Diamond review Review with images 09/11/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Historic, culturally diverse and not too huge a city.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many, unless you don't like cities, or America, or fish.

    OK. Here’s a quiz question: What is the least friendly place on Earth? Is it: A) Downtown Novosibirsk on a Wednesday morning in February? B) A pub outside Ibrox when Celtic have just whupped Rangers...and you’re wearing a green scarf? C) Platform 3 at King’s Cross Station, four minutes after you miss your last train home...and your credit cards are maxed...and you’ve got no money...and you’re a little bit pissed, but not pissed enough to sleep on a bench? D) None of the above? The answer, of course, is D...none of the above, because without a shadow of a doubt the least friendly spot on the ... more

    5 Stars BOSTON IN DECEMBER 06/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent dollar rate, laid back city

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Spent too much shopping and did not get to see the famous New England Fall trees!

    About a month ago now, my partner Paul and l headed off for a short break to Boston, Massachusetts, from 2nd December until 7th December. We flew from Belfast City airport with BMI – at a cost of around £80 per person return, flying on to from London Heathrow with United Airlines to Washington Dulles then to Boston’s Logan International airport. This cost approximately £550 for 2 adults. Now we flew with United for one simple reason – United are Star Alliance members – we could have flown direct to Boston with the likes of British Airways or Virgin Atlantic – but ... more

    5 Stars Wish It Was Home 03/01/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It isn't TOO busy like New York, really easy to get around and no sales tax on clothes, clean and safe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite expensive

    Boston is a city like no other – the only city I have been that combines the pleasantness of a European City with the delight of a US City. I spent three months there last summer and plan to go back as soon as I can. There is so much to do, so many places to see it would take a lifetime. In my opinion on Boston, I am only going to give some essential information about it and some of my favourite things about it, but it is still quite long. If you plan to go to Boston, try and spend as much time as possible!! Believe me its worth it!! ~ ~ ~ Arrival & Transportation ~ ~ ~ Most people will in ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Please read my review

    I was only in Boston, Massachusetts once on business. I went alone and stayed at the Radisson Hotel in the downtown area. Boston is a City that one and a half million people call home, (the 10th largest in the USA). ~O WHAT I SAW O~ My half day meeting was at Cambridge University, (one of the 60 plus Colleges or Universities). I was the Executive Producer of a Documentary Film and I was talking to show it to the Dean of the Fine Arts Department before we "color corrected it". He met me at the Airport but had to wait a long time because know one ever told me that you could not bring a movie ... more
