Our guide to Boston

Visit Boston, the United States' 'Cradle of Liberty'

Boston is one of the most important cultural locations in the history of the U.S. as the city played a major role in the American revolution. Far more importantly than that, the city is also home to the pub used in Cheers! Boston is also the academic heart of the United States, home to Harvard university, the most prestigious school in the country. Bostonites are huge sports fans so if you are a fan of American football, basketball or baseball this city will make your dreams come true. Experience this cultural delight first hand - hop on board a cheap flight and tick Boston off your holiday hitlist.

Here are our top ideas of things to do in the city:

Drink at the Bull and Finch: Even if you aren’t a Cheers fan, it would be rude not to visit the city and have a cool one at this iconic pub.

Shop Newbury Street: For the most chic designer stores in Boston, you can’t go far wrong here. Splash the cash you saved on your cheap flight by shopping the city in serious style.

Watch a game at Fenway Park; the famous baseball arena; home of the Boston Red Sox - regular season ends on the first Sunday in October but games are regular during the season. More information at http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/.
