Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States, and much of its story is easy to follow on foot along the Freedom Trail, a red brick line that links sixteen historic sites.

Across the Charles River sit Harvard and MIT in Cambridge. Seafood is a speciality, so try clam chowder or a lobster roll near the harbour.
