8 days in Boston & Denver 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.

When in Boston, make a side trip to see Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, approximately Salem away. And it doesn't end there: admire the masterpieces at Museum of Fine Arts, get to know the fascinating history of Freedom Trail, wander the streets of North End, and take in nature's colorful creations at Boston Public Garden.

Aptly nicknamed the "Mile-High City," Denver sits at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,280 ft) above sea level, located right where the Great Plains give way to the Rocky Mountains.

Venture out of the city with trips to Breckenridge (Broken Compass Brewery & Tap House & Blue River Sports), Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods & Red Rock Canyon Open Space) and Vail Mountain Resort (in Vail). There's much more to do: see Off-Road Tours, brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Tour, explore the world behind art at Denver Art Museum, and indulge in some personalized pampering at some of the best spas.
