Boston

...years that it took, but Boston is a city i still love one of the best. I had no real expectations about Boston before i went and maybe this enhanced my enjoyment ( I expected alot from new york and was greatly disapointed). Boston has a feel of the old colonial times with lots of new and modern attractions thrown in. There are less skyscrapers than most US cities and in general feels less built up allowing a more open and fresh feeling to the city. ...
...and easy to use, and Boston can be easily reached by air, bus or train. I took the train there from Chicago, however Boston has two main amtrak stations, so make sure you know which one you are getting off at. I got off at back bay but unfortunately my luggage went to central and it took 46 hours to retrieve it. The john hancock building gives a lovely view of the entire city and you can gain a free history lesson while in there, althought the history ...

Review of Boston

Boston is a great city to spend a few days in, and conveniently sited for day trips into the surrounding area. A tiny city compared to New York, it is much less hectic with a nicer climate. If you want to eat seafood, this is the place to come (if not, don't panic, there are plenty of other options too, with many ethnic restaurants and steak houses). Things to do: go whale-watching (take a warm jumper and camera), definitely worth the money though ...
...the whole family. Do the Boston Duck Tour (tickets and start from Prudential tower), a great way to get your bearings, and much more fun than a standard tour, especially when you make a "big splash" into the Charles river. The aquarium is great for adults and kids, while the wide range of instant food on offer in Quincy market should tempt even the fussiest palate. Go up the Hancock tower at night and eavesdrop on the air-traffic controllers at Logan ...

Review of Boston

...weekend. We went to Boston in January so we guessed it would be cold, but the flights were cheap (i.e. would have cost us about the same for a weekend break in Europe) and we had the advantage of Boston shopping, cheap US prices, and no language problems. But I do not think we really expected it to be as cold as it was but with our big coats, hats and gloves it was not to bad. But the layout of Boston really helped as just across the road from our ...
...to the location of the Boston tea party (unfortunately the boat was shut due to the time of year) a meal inside cheers, as you may know only the outside was used in the show but it was a nice meal all the same, for a meal in a look-a-like cheers bars cheers in central London is a good bet and we also we to the science museum which was interesting, we went here on the last day of our trip after we checked out the hotel/motel so we had all out luggage, ...

Review of Boston

Boston aquarium is a very fun day out, it is the aquarium where andrai (like in the film) lived. It is expecially good if you have small children, however probably not quite as good for moody teenagers. The exebitions are very interesting and there are shows E.g. Feeding the sharks, The Walrus Show, the coral reef show. The shows are scheguald quite frequently so if you miss one its not long till another. Also the aquarium is very near the centre ...
...If its your last day in Boston and you are getting a plane out, it is also easy to see the aquarium in half a day and make it in time for your flight easily, the aquarium haas an asortment of restarants, so you dont have to worry about food. ...

Review of Boston

...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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Boston

...30 years old". In Boston there are things as old as 300 years (gosh!) - You can cycle anywhere without being fumigated. Try back Bay cycles on Newbury street, near Tower Records, for hire. - You can walk around the place on foot - all the main tourist sites are on "The Freedom Trail" which is marked by a red brick line - dead simple to follow. If you get tired the public transport's great. - It's all hi-tech and lawyers, loadsamoney - a bit like ...

Review of Boston

...well worth it. Boston is totally laid back city compared to NYC, the people are generally more friendlier and helpfull. Clothes are a big bonus as they have 0% sales tax compared to 8% in NYC. There is one street I think Newbury street where you have all the clothes shops from Emporio Armani, Guess to Donna Karen plus some urban street wear(try some pimpgear t-shirts). Staff are all very welcoming and first to lend a hand unlike the attitude in NYC. ...
...as I left it on the side by a pay phone. The city streets and buildings are cleaner,more historical and better maintained compared to the hustling bustling metropolis of NYC and walking around is more enjoyable in the less crowded streets. If it wasnt for the fact that this city was in the US I would think I was in Europe. ...

Review of Boston

Boston has to be my favourite city in the world. It’s a great city to spend a few weeks for a holiday because there's so much to do. Theres lots of restaurants and entertainment places around such as a few I went- Hard Rock cafe was one of my prefered eating places. Boston has its on baseball team called Boston Red Socks. My favourite thing to do was going to the baseball matches. The hotdogs there rule! The supermarkets are huge and they ...
...embarrasing. The Boston flats are quite nice and the houses are big. But Boston airport is huge and easy to get lost in- Not advisable to get lost in. Boston is two hours away from New York on the train. You will find lots of parks and ponds, and you might be able to get a ride on a swan boat. In the parks there's lots of cute, sweet almost tame squirrels. You can feed them with nuts and they'll come right up to you and take them from your hand. ...

Review of Boston

BOSTON is one of the best cities in America, i should know because i am from there. Boston is a great city it isn't to big. There are great shopping places Copley Place and Newbury Street and don't forget The Galleria. Best for shopping on reasonable budgets. If you go there to see the scenery then the best is the Duck tour, its great, Boston also has a lot of historic sites. For sports I remember having a great time watching the Boston Red Soxs, ...

Review of Boston

The Boston Science museum is very good, and has something for all types of people, most of the articles are very interesting, and some of the events, e.g. lightening show, and Omni theatre are excellent. The Omni theatre is a must, it is a huge, curved cinema screen that fills your vision, and when the screen moves, your mind tricks you and makes you think you are moving! The Omni Theatre is good but is also quite expensive, over $5 for only about ...
