Boston
Boston is the gateway to New England, and most of its premier attractions are within an area of just 5 .jpg)
miles. Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Quincy Market, and The Boston Common, are just three of the places that you must visit on a tour of the city.
Boston is known for its unique charm and beauty, as well as for the Boston Red Sox, New England’s only major-league baseball team.
Boston has the feel of an old English village; it still has gas lamps in some areas. The Fanuiel Market which is housed in 3 beautifully restored 19th century buildings is a place to head for, and watch the world go by, whilst enjoying a coffee or beer. Here, Bostonians protested the British taxation policies of the 1760’s. Their protests eventually led to the American Revolution. Boston Common, America’s oldest public park, is where people head, to exercise, or just relax. Sited on 50 acres of open land, it was used as a common pasture for grazing cattle owned by the townspeople of Boston. The Common is bordered by Tremont, Park, Boylston and Beacon Streets.
The “Boston Tea Party”.
On the evening of 16th December 1773, a group of men calling themselves the “Sons of Liberty” went to the Boston Harbour. The men were dressed as Mohawk Indians. They boarded three British ships, the Beaver, the Eleanor and the Dartmouth, and dumped forty-five tons of tea into the Boston Harbour. You can, if you wish, join in on one of the excursions that take you on a journey back in time to enjoy the tea party all over again. Another “Must Do” for fans of “Cheers” is to visit the bar where some of the filming took place, maybe enjoy a drink whilst your there.
