The East Coast is still looking at a few more weeks of winter weather, but when the weather warms up you can expect green everywhere-green trees, green plants, and fragrant flowers. Visitors will quickly notice that New England is more than just the location of a few Ivey League schools-it is a place rich in culture, history and natural beauty.  And no East Coast tour would be complete without a Boston City Tour.

New York City is “The City that Never Sleeps” but Boston is “The Hub of New England.”  Beantown is a complimentary mix of the modern and the historic. Around every corner there is a Dunkin’ Donuts or a Starbucks Coffee; but just as often, visitors will come across historical landmarks every few feet.  The Freedom Trail is 2.5 miles marked by a painted red line or double bricks that lead to sixteen historic sites that start in the Boston Common, leads through Beacon Hill, the North End and over the Charles River into Charlestown.  Travelers can cover the history of the Revolution in a single day!

Boston has something for everyone.  Do you like art?  The Museum of Fine Art has a large and varied collection, and the Institute of Contemporary Art has a great view of the harbor. Theater fans will love Boston’s Theatre District. There’s always something showing at the Opera House, the Shubert, the Majestic, the Colonial and the Wang Center for Performing Arts. In need of sports fix while on vacation? No worries – depending on the season visitors can score tickets to see the Bruins, the New England Patriots, the Red Sox or the Celtics.  Have a passion for architecture? Tour Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the campuses are amazing and worth the trip across the river.

After spending hours walking around the city, visitors should delight in some of the city’s stomach-worthy cuisine. Grab a quick bite to eat in Chinatown, have Italian in the North End or grab dessert at the upscale Finale.  Boston is definitely a city you can eat your way through.

Once you had your fill of the city, continue your exploration of the East Coast on bus tours from Boston to New York and Niagara Falls. Traveling through New England is an experience everyone should try. While in New England, don’t miss on stopping at Rhode Island for some appetizing food New England style at Rhode Island restaurants!
