The Freedom Trail is a 4km long red painted path that leads visitors around Boston to the most historic sights. It is a great way to begin a tour of Boston and explore all major attractions. The starting point is the Boston Common and the trail will lead tourists to the Old State House where America’s Independence was declared in 1776.
The Old South Meeting House is also worth a visit as it played a major role in the Boston Tea Party. Anyone interested in military history can catch a glimpse of the USS Constitution.
Boston is also home to the New Aquarium which is situated on the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and offers visitors numerous attractions to explore the underwater world. In addition to sea lions and penguins, you can also admire jellyfish and participate at the daily whale watching. Another very interesting Boston sight is the Mapparium where tourists can discover what the world looks like from the inside by climbing into a giant globe.

Boston offers accommodation for every taste and budget. Those who want comfort and upscale rooms should look into the Four Seasons, the Ritz-Carlton and the Marriott Hotel. The various Holiday Inns or the Best Western are more suitable for budget-conscious travellers. Snow and cold winters are guaranteed in Boston as well as a very hot summer - sometimes with temperatures above 35°C.
Australian visitors will land in Boston’s Logan International Airport and usually fly via Los Angeles. Good flight connections are guaranteed when booking from Sydney with Qantas as other airlines may only offer flights with more stopovers. The average travel time is around 24 hours but can be longer if departing from other Australian airports. Those departing from Melbourne for instance will stop 2-3 times and travel around 28-36 hours.
