Boston is a fantastic city to visit. But it is also a very large city and attractions are spread out throughout its metropolitan boundaries, because of this it is best to hire a car as soon as you land. Save time and money with a hired car and not only will you not have to worry about bus schedules, but you will relieve any the pressure to carry cash money on you for taxis. The process is simple as long as you have a credit card and valid driver’s license from your home nation. Hiring a car also ensures that you can tailor your trip to ensure that you only see the exhibits that you want to see and can stay as long as you want, something that isn’t available if you opt for one of the sightseeing tours of the city.
There are many sights to take in during your visit to Boston, for the sports fan you can take in a Major League baseball game at Fenway Park or head over to the TD Banknorth Garden and watch the Bruins play. For the history buff in the family there are many historical sites and museums to peruse. These include the JFK Presidential Library and Museum, the Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum and the Paul Revere House. Downtown Boston has a very lively nightlife as well as world class shopping. Take a day during your stay and drive through the communities of this American city. See the progression from the port through to the affluent neighbourhoods. Stop frequently and visit local delis and coffee shops, this will give you a chance to escape the over-priced tourist attractions as well as give you a truer sense of the people of Bean town.
