10 Best American Cities to Vacation In
3. Boston, Massachusetts
The unofficial capital of New England has an Old World feel to it, but is a quintessentially American city. Jammed full of US history, Boston offers a tremendous amount to see in a concise area. The Freedom Trail is a 2 ½ mile red brick walking path that takes visitors past 16 historic Revolutionary War era sites, and passes America’s first public park, the Boston Commons. Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, waterfront, and downtown can all be explored on foot from almost any hotel, and the North End remains one of the best preserved Italian enclaves in the country. Boston is also home to the nation’s oldest running restaurant, oldest running bar, and is the ultimate place to try New England seafood like oysters, lobster, lobster rolls, clams, and of course, New England Clam Chowder. Boston Musts: Faneuil Hall, strolling Newbury street in Back Bay, strolling Hanover street in North End, a meal at the Union Oyster House, America’s oldest eatery, Freedom Trail,and Boston’s amphibious Duck Tours.
Seaside resort destinations like Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard are only a short drive away from Boston.
