The best of New Englands cities
Review of Boston by
virhea
Advantages: real feel of new england
Disadvantages: cant think of one
...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 ...

Compact but cool
Review of Boston by
sam15
Advantages: Small and easy to get around, lots of stuff to do
Disadvantages: The Big Dig makes driving a nightmare
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 ...

An ideal weekend break
Review of Boston by
JamesMoore
Advantages: lots to do and not just shopping
Disadvantages: very cold in January
...a long 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 ...

Very interesting!
Review of Boston by
wior85
Advantages: Very informative & intersting
Disadvantages: Not good for impatient children
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 ...

A great city for all ages
Review of Boston by
Combes
Advantages: Clean, good transport routes, lots of sights
Disadvantages: slightly expensive
...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 ...

Boston - a Londoner's town stateside
Review of Boston by
WorldGirl
Advantages: Beautiful city, lots to do, small enough to get around
Disadvantages: In the USA!
...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 ...

more european than american
Review of Boston by
Deviant
Advantages: chilled out, cleaner friendlier
Disadvantages: less choice compared to NYC
While visiting NYC I decided to take a day trip to Boston. It costs about $60 for a few hours coach journey and is it 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 ...

Review of Boston by
wasup123
Advantages: great shopping, great sports team, great historic sites, great attractions, 6 hours away from Europe.
Disadvantages: i can't think of any
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, ...

Good day out!
Review of Boston by
wior85
Advantages: Expencive
Disadvantages: An extreamly good day out
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 ...
