Visit Boston for a weekend getaway

Summer is in full swing, and now is not when you should be caged up in your house in front of the television.  There’s no better time to spend your next weekend away in Boston, one of America’s most historic cities.

Your three days in Boston will fly by.  Go shopping and get pampered on Newbury Street, watch a baseball game at Fenway Park, sample the city’s favorite beer at the Sam Adams Brewery and make sure to have a lobster roll, or two.  The endless activities and diverse culture of this city will definitely have you wanting more.

Boston is a walking city and its locals think nothing of hitting the pavement to get from place to place.   When you walk the streets of Boston, keep your eyes out for a thick, red line painted along the sidewalks.  This is known as The Freedom Trail and it takes you around three miles of the city, past 16 of the most historic sites in America dating back to The Revolution.  You’ll find plenty of guided tours, but feel free to follow the path at your own leisurely pace and get a feel for what the city is really about.

When you book your next weekend away, make sure to stay at the Bulfinch Hotel ,where we’ve found you the finest deal.  Book with hotels.com and get 30 percent off the normal price with the special rate of $163 a night.  Placed right in the heart of the city, this funky and unique hotel has you within walking distance to some of best areas, including the Waterfront, the North End and Faneuil Hall.
