Boston Travel Tips

  • Keep your eyes peeled for plaques. Boston excels at showcasing its history, and there seems to be a historic plaque on every other building. It's like a free tour and more interesting than any textbook.
  • Watch out for the school calendar. Boston hotel rooms can be hard to come by during graduation in early summer or orientation in late summer. Summer isn't the most expensive season, though: The leaf peepers use Boston as a base, bringing up hotel rates during fall foliage season.
  • Ogle sea creatures at the New England Aquarium.
  • Stroll the Boston Common and Cambridge's collegial Harvard Square.
  • Tread the path of America's historic beginnings on the Freedom Trail.
