Last summer, well in terms of years because we all know about Britain's weather, was really special as i took a trip to the states and visited New England taking the lovely city of Boston. I stayed in a hotel on the very edge of the centre, very close to the two biggest buildings in MAS. The Prudential Tower and The John Hancock Building. A trip to the top during the day and at night is most reccommended as you get to thw hole of Boston if the whether is fine. The centre of Boston is brilliant, with shopping areas, bars, restaurants and cafes as well as quincy market, a food court lasting the length of the old building with multi-cultural food on offer. Also the transport into the centre as from where i was staying you could walk, or take an all-day troley bus which could be picked at the many stops, as well as this the MTA provides a historic and relatively cheap option to get around Boston see the surrounding suburbs including Cambridge and CharlesTown.
With the airport only a short trip out of Boston on the MTA, arrivals can be easily transported through to the centre of Boston and it is also ideal with a shuttle bus ferrying people back and forth from the terminal to the MTA station at no cost. Places to visit in Boston include Cambridge and Harvard in one trip, the Cheers bar, the Boston tea party, and the previously mentioned buildings. Also there are several tourist friendly trail routes which make sure you see all of the city. There is too much to do in 2 or 3 days and so a week is necessary and i don't know if you would get it done in that.
Finally i reccommend not hiring a car for your stay in Boston, but if you are planning on going north i propose you catch the MTA out to Logan Airport and get shuttled to the necessary car hire firm. from here you can pick up your car hassle free and get detailed instructions of where to go. if you are to proceed south i havn't tried it so i wouldn't know, best thing to do is ask at the hotel you are staying at.

Hi and welcome to Ciao. An interesting opinion on a city that doesn't spring to mind as an obvious tourist destination. You could have put in a bit more detail but not too bad overall. You really need to run this text through a spell check, I always type up my opinions in a wordprocessor first before pasting into Ciao because I am all too aware of errors creeping in. The layout looks better if you space your paragraphs with additional line feeds so the text is more clearly broken up. Don't forget that you can edit your contributions bu clicking on the EDIT link at the top of the opinion. Good luck, Paul.

Just about scarpes a VH; more info. on possible accomadation and more detail about the attractions would be useful. A very good first opinion though and I'm in a generous mood. Well done, Timmy.
