Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Advantages: Historic, culturally diverse and not too huge a city.
Disadvantages: Not many, unless you don't like cities, or America, or fish.

...in a couple of other hotels and the Prudential Centre on the way. Not to be sniffed at when the weather turns nasty. Naturally, there’s a great deal more to Boston than I have iterated here. If there wasn’t, this op would be the size of a Rough Guide. However, it’s here that I will draw a halt, with just a short list of ‘Don’t Miss’ bits and pieces to wrap it all up. So Don’t Miss: The Museum of Fine Art – fantastic if you like...well...fine art. The Duck Tour – As you wander around the centre of Boston you’ll catch sight of some astonishing vehicles: amphibious craft painted in garish colours and carrying a payload of eager sightseers. These trundle around the various sights of the city, then plunge into the Charles River for a quick ‘once round the bay’. The take off from The Museum of Science and from near the Hynes Centre.

...to the Hotel where I checked in and sent my bags to the room. We drove along the left bank of the Charles Rive to reach the University. Cambridge is another City that runs into Boston.

The next day I hired a private Guide to show me some of the sites because there are so many and I wanted to visit as much as I could.

Next I saw the Museum... Read review

...area of Boston. The hotel is located on the junction of Arlington and St James Ave, there is a very large multi-storey car park or garage as the Americans like to call them across the street. There is also Arlington station a MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) station within 100 metres, this is on the green line a very handy line as it stops at most of the tourist areas such as the science museum, art gallery, prudential tower, and the government centre, and at $1.25 it is a bargain. The Hotel is very near the Boston Public Garden which is very picturesque and has a beautiful pond which is the summer you can take a Swan paddle boat, unfortunately for us the pond was frozen so no paddle boats this time. Copley Square is about a ten minute walk from the hotel, or available on the MBTA ++++++++++Formalities... Read review
