4 days in Boston Itinerary

Rich in museums, restaurants, shops, and historical sites, Boston attracts over 16 million visitors each year. New England's largest and most influential city, Boston ranks among the world's major centers of education and culture.

Get some historical perspective at Cliff Walk and Freedom Trail. For shopping fun, head to Faneuil Hall Marketplace or Newbury Street. Change things up with these side-trips from Boston: Ogunquit (Marginal Way Walkway & Ogunquit Beach), Long Sands Beach (in York Beach) and Newport (Ocean Drive Historic District & The Breakers). There's much more to do: take a stroll through North End, admire the striking features of Trinity Church, steep yourself in history at Strawbery Banke Museum, and identify plant and animal life at Blue Hills Reservation.
