10 Day Boston to The Big Apple

Boston is a city which combines history and modernity. With impressive architecture, cobbled streets, cultural landmarks and glittering malls, Boston really is a must.

You can spend a day exploring the Freedom Trail, a path which weaves past 16 of Boston’s most historically significant landmarks. Love to shop? Eight blocks of boutiques, designer labels, and high street favourites can be found along Newbury Street. Sports fans can catch a game of basketball at TD Garden or baseball at Fenway Park, before finishing the evening on one of Boston’s famous Irish pubs, like The Burren and The Druid.

Overnight – 3 nights at Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor (or similar)

It’s time to relax after a busy few days in Boston, so collect your rental car and make the short journey to Cape Cod. This beautiful 48-kilometre stretch of Massachusetts' coastline has remained undeveloped since being designated as a Nation Seashore by President John F. Kennedy back in 1961.

Hiking, biking, and horse-riding are all popular activities in the area. Or, if you'd prefer to simply relax, why not swim and sunbathe on one of the six public beaches? However you spend your days, your evenings will be filled with fantastic seafood and local cuisine.

Overnight – 2 nights at Sea Crest Beach Hotel, Falmouth (or similar)

The historic university city of New Haven is located on Connecticut's coast. It's rich with arts, culture, and regional foods, and is home to the world-famous Yale University, which was founded in 1701. Find out all about it when you take an Ivy League Tour.
