Time Out takes travellers on an in-depth tour of the essential sights — the landmarks of the Revolution, the elegant English-inspired architecture of affluent Beacon Hill and Back Bay, the colleges and hip hangouts of neighboring Cambridge — as well as the local curiosities most tourists miss. For travelers who want to explore further, the guide covers highlights of New England’s history-rich Colonial countryside, pretty coastal villages and glorious sandy beaches — all an easy drive out of town.
