Boston

Boston packs its history into a compact centre: the Freedom Trail, Boston Common, Faneuil Hall and the Tea Party Museum are all within walking distance of each other, with the waterfront and Beacon Hill filling the rest of a day.

Three days covers the classics without rushing — and Salem, the witch city, is half an hour up the coast if you want a fourth. Two hotels I can recommend are below.

From my experience, Boston, like much of the USA, can be quite expensive, especially when it comes to accommodation. I’ve carefully selected some of the most affordable Boston hotel getaway options and compared prices to help make your stay more budget friendly.
