Boston: where to start exploring the city?

If you are planning a summer experience in the USA, Boston is one of those cities where it is easy to combine a study or work program with a clear weekend itinerary.

A good first stop is Boston Common, the oldest city park in the USA. After your journey, you can take a relaxing stroll along the paths, have a picnic, and head out to the Freedom Trail to see the historic city center.

Address: 139 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02111, USA.

Boston is particularly interesting because of the nearby university environment, museums, waterfronts, and short routes around New England. It makes for a packed, yet not overwhelming, seasonal plan.
