Boston

Pros: A city of rare beauty and history, a great tour also.

Pros: Great city enriched in history
Cons: Cost of living and housing.

I am writing from the perspective of a transplant and a former tourist. Boston in its size is very small compared to other cities like NY, Chicago, Los Angeles or Houston. This is in part because when the Boston city lines "were drawn" the did not ...

Pros: Unique finds in Boston shopping scene. Good deals are to found.
Cons: Not all pieces are easy to wear, but are interesting nevertheless.

Cons: There's never enough time to see everything

Pros: Everything
Cons: Parking, Driving, Weather, Expensive stuff

For some people, Boston is the perfect city to visit. I am one of those people. If you are a baseball fan, history buff, or anywhere in between; Boston is for you. The best aspects of Boston lie in history. The Freedom Trail is a fantastic ...

Pros: beautiful, smart, captivating, historical
Cons: not for the tourist who hates being on their feet!

Boston and its history stuffed surroundings must be like Mecca for American history buffs. It would be very hard to find one location with so densely packed with historical sites and points of interest. Not only does the city have history, but you don't ...

Pros: A fabulous combination of my favourite themes - architecture, history, politics and fish.
Cons: Too few public phones and a quixotic approach to street signage.

Here’s an old rhyme about Boston I’d like to share with you: Welcome to good old Boston The home of the beans and the cod Where the Lowells speak only to Cabots And the Cabots speak only to God. Doesn't augur well, does it? A city boasting of ...

Pros: Diversity in cuisine, atmosphere and style
Cons: Non-existent or hard to find parking. Better to take the "T".

Rather than listing the usual places, I am going to go for the lesser known things to do, some of which are more known, some are unheard of! Boston on Mother’s Day or any day is a fantastic city.

What should I do here:...

Pros: The buildings were so old and rich in our countries history.
Cons: It was late at the park and the swan boats were not in service.

Pros: Variety of things to do
Cons: traffic

I don't live too far from Boston, but I had never been. On my first trip I was amazed. I thought the whole town would be littered and dirty because of the large amount of people that visit it, but it was extremely clean. The town is beautiful, and there...

Pros: Historic and scenic
