Where to stay in Boston
To stay close to where most of Boston's tourist action is, book a room at one of the many hotels located downtown, near the center of the city and state governments, businesses, and shopping. For a more affordable option, consider a budget-friendly boutique hotel or small bed and breakfast in one of the city's diverse residential neighborhoods. If you plan to stay longer and need a real home away from home, explore Boston's short-term rental options, which include private villas, waterfront lofts, and luxury apartments scattered across the city's historical districts.

Boston
With many museums, churches, and political sites to explore, there is a versatile range of things to do in Boston. Travelers wishing to soak up some of America's earliest history can take a walk along Freedom Trail past over a dozen historical monuments. The cobbled passageways of Beacon Hill will also give you a pretty good idea of what early Boston must have been like. For a lesson in more recent history, head to John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum & Library. To take a break from the city's history-steeped streets and neighborhoods, relax among permanent plantings of meticulously maintained Boston Public Garden, or catch a baseball game at Fenway Park.
