Boston

The central area of Boston is called Back Bay where you will find the Copley Plaza shopping area, Boston Common, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Beacon Hill. Beacon Hill runs along the north edge of Boston Common and is home to the original pub called Cheers.

Faneuil Hall Market place is the bustling centre of Boston with Quincy Market which looks rather like Covent Garden in London. Here you will find lots of shops, bars and restaurants including the famous Irish pubs. Also in this area you will find The 18th Century Schooner Liberty used in the uprising against the British, The Boston Aquarium and the site of the original Boston Tea Party which triggered the American War of Independence.

The best way to the learn the most about this historic centre of the USA is to follow the two and a half mile long Freedom Trail. This was the very route that Paul Revere took to warn of the British invasion of the city.
