Find Bean Town Accommodations for You and Your Furry Friend
Jul 27, 2008
Boston is a classic New England city, rich in culture and history. Visitors can appreciate the great outdoors by taking a Duck Boat Tour, or by checking out the Bunker Hill Monument, the Freedom Trail or Boston Common.
Tourists can also shop on Newbury Street or Copley Place, stroll along the Charles River or check out the city from a bird's perspective with a visit to the Prudential Center's Skywalk Observatory. Fenway Park and the Boston Garden are the Hub's must-see locations for sports fans, while tourists who are into the arts can visit the Museum of Fine Arts. Animal lovers can visit the Boston Aquarium, the Franklin Park Zoo, or the Make Way for Ducklings statues on Boston Common.
