Boston is a wonderful city and one that attracts many visitors every year. The historical significance combined with a large metropolitan area all located on the water makes it a very popular tourist destination. This article will offer travel tips from best ways to get there via airlines and Boston airport transportation or Manchester airport transportation, where to stay and things to do and see while being a visitor in Boston no matter what time of the year you go.

There are many airline deals to be found these days and if you are up to finding the best deal yourself, try the website kayak.com that offers the prices of all of the competing airlines giving you a great comparison of deals. Remember if you choose to travel on Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday, those are the least expensive days to go so plan accordingly. Because you will be in a city with great transportation of trains, taxis and even boats, a car will not be necessary and parking in Boston is horrible so just take an airport shuttle or the train to get to your hotel downtown.

There are so many things to do and see while in Boston that making a plan is probably the best way to see the most you can. One of the absolute must do’s in Boston is to walk the Freedom trail. This is a great way to experience colonial history and can see 16 different sites along the trail. It is easy to follow as it is marked by a stripe to follow throughout Boston. The best way is to start the trail in the morning and that will land you in Quincy Market around lunchtime which is one of the best food markets around. Try Boston’s holy trinity of lobster, clams or chowder to experience true local flavors.

The North End of Boston is a great section of Boston with the famous old North Church and Paul Reveres home that is a special piece of history to witness. Nearby the North End is Boston’s Little Italy that has more authentic small family owned Italian restaurants and bistros to count so be sure to stop in one to get a wonderful bite to eat.

Another section of Boston that many people enjoy visiting is Beacon Hill filled with a the oldest park in the country and beautiful old buildings. If shopping is what you are interested in, go to Charles Street to hit a variety of popular stores as well as fun local boutiques.

The waterfront area is the last place to see while in Boston and that is also a wonderful place to go if you are a family traveling with children. Located near the water is the Children’s Museum and the Boston Tea Museum as well as the beautifully renovated New England Aquarium. If you are a baseball fan, try to catch a Red Sox game at Fenway Park although being able to find a ticket may be difficult as Red Sox fans are some of the most loyal.
