Boston

Bohemian and historical Boston, Massachusetts, is a must-visit destination for hostel-goers working their way around America. Start with The Freedom Trail: a free tour which can be taken within a group or independently. The trail takes you to 16 historical sites including the USS Constitution: a wooden hulled ship first launched in 1797, and the Old State House: the oldest surviving building in Boston. If you haven’t had enough history for one trip, take a tour of Harvard, the oldest university in America where you’ll hear stories about famous past-students and events. For musical entertainment, visit the Hatch Shell: an outdoor concert venue near downtown. The Boston Pops Orchestra play here every 4 July and you can also catch free concerts during the summer months. Buy a Go Boston Card for free admission to popular attractions to save money when sightseeing.
