Local Attractions
CULTURE, HISTORY, FOOD and SPORTThere's so much more to Boston than
brown bread and historic
cobblestone streets. Whatever the season, you will have plenty to do in New England's vibrant cultural capital. In summer, enjoy a
baseball game at historic
Fenway Park,
sculling and rowing on the beautiful Charles River and
dining alfresco at a quaint neighborhood restaurant. In winter,
skating on the Frog Pond and
lively winter markets await or head indoors to a world-class
museum, electrifying
concert, renowned
theatre performance or a
cozy pub. In spring and autumn, experience the
distinctive shops of
Newbury Street and Charles Street, unique
city tours,
biking trails or a
stroll through the stunning parks of the city's Emerald Necklace.
