Boston Holidays
As America`s oldest City, Boston has always moved with the times - be it as a prosperous seaport or as an energetic business centre and magnet for tourism. In fact City Breaks to Boston and Boston Holidays have become incredibly popular, due no doubt to the delicious contrast of the old and the new which has fascinated visitors down the ages
The roots of Boston, New England's largest city, can be found back in Lincolnshire, UK. The land there, gifted by William the Conqueror, was home to the founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony who settled in Boston. In 1629, a dozen shareholders from Boston, Lincolnshire signed a contract to "inhabit and develop New England" assuming that they would be allowed to govern the colony themselves. They set sail for America, ultimately to join with William Blackstone and other survivors of the first Plymouth Colony.
The rest, as they say, is history. Boston became a thriving settlement, more new settlers arrived and the seeds of American Independence were sown.
Boston Holidays mix history and present day, cobbled streets lined with old fashioned lamp posts, partnered with towering skyscrapers just around the corner. Start with the Freedom Trail a three-mile long red lined route taking in the sights of Old Boston. Contemporary city life is captured at Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market enlived by clowns and magicians. Relax in floral gardens and green parks or walk famous Boston Common. Shopping at every price point is on hand from the fashion boutiques of Newbury Street to the bargains galore of Filene's Basement on Boylston Street.
