Welcome to "Bean Town!" Boston isn't just the capital of Massachusetts – it is considered New England's capital. And Bean Town can't be beat for historic intrigue, fine hotels, family attractions, antique shops and trendy boutiques, multicultural dining experiences, theatre and festivals, and of course – the pubs! So why not enjoy your first dinner in Boston at the Union Oyster House; the oldest restaurant in Boston whose doors have been open since 1826.
Whether you've visited Boston, or only know the city through impressions formed by watching episodes of Ally McBeal or Cheers; in the old Bull and Finch Pub, there is much to explore – so why don’t you walk the line; the two-and-a-half-mile Freedom Trail is one of the best ways to get acquainted with Boston. Don’t miss visiting the Massachusetts State House; the magnificent setting of the Boston state government for over two centuries has become an outstanding museum reflecting the history of Massachusetts since colonial times.
Boston's museums are as good as any you'll find in the world – so visit the JFK Library and Museum for some presidential history, immersed yourself in the watery world of the New England Aquarium.
