Downeaster Travel Packages

Discover Salem Overnight

Boston is a fantastic mix of hip and historic New England flare. You can easily learn about its distinct past while revelling in its modern edge. Enjoy a multitude of activities such as Duck Tour, a Whale Watching Cruise or a Boston TV & Movie Sites tour. A visit to the Museum of Science, New England Aquarium or Fenway Park for a Red Sox game is always a favorite for the kids. A food and wine festival, shopping along famous Newbury Street, dining on the freshest seafood or seeing a Broadway show are all popular with the adults. So if you are a history lover, sports nut, foodie, shopaholic, art aficionado or simply looking for some family fun, Boston is the city for you!
