Tours, Attractions &
Hotels in the Cradle of Liberty

Boston is where America's story began β€” a compact, walkable city where Revolutionary history sits beside world-class museums, a historic harbor, and two of the country's great universities just across the river. The Freedom Trail threads the essential sites together, the waterfront and harbor cruises open up the sea side of the city, and the neighborhoods reward wandering on foot. Late spring through October is the prime window, with fall foliage making September and October especially memorable.
