Marble City Travel

Boston provides a plethora of attractions giving a patriotic perspective on the past, present and future. The 2½-mile Freedom Trail is one of the best ways to get acquainted with the city and efficiently visit the city's bounty of historic landmarks. Other sights include the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Garden - the nation's oldest botanical garden, and Fenway Park, historic home of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox.

Quincy's Market is ideal for shopping and dining or enjoy a pub lunch at Cheers, formerly the Bull & Finch Pub, which inspired the hit television show. A more relaxed place to shop than New York, Newbury Street is home to speciality stores, as are the cobblestone streets of Downtown Crossing.
