Boston & Philadelphia

Embark on this twin-centre holiday to America and witness two vibrant historic cities! Starting in Boston with four nights to explore and then heading to iconic Philadelphia for three nights.

Boston is one of the best USA city break locations. It’s a compact city, an eclectic mix of historical monuments and modern skyscrapers interspersed with bohemian neighbourhoods. Boston is the perfect city to explore on foot, with most of the major attractions within easy walking distance of one another. Boston Common is the oldest park in America and the starting point of the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile (4km) trail that links 16 historic sights associated with America’s early struggle for freedom from British control.

Cambridge lies just across the Charles River from Boston and is a city in its own right. Two of the most well-known universities in the world, Harvard University and MIT, are found in Cambridge. The area is full of trendy bars, hip cafes, interesting shops, and restaurants just waiting to be explored. Soak up the atmosphere with a stroll around the historic Harvard campus, visit the Peabody Museum of archaeology or simply have a coffee on Harvard Square and enjoy some time people-watching.

Last but not least, it’s time to discover Philadelphia, with streets filled with history. The birthplace of America, where the Liberty Bell in Independence Hall rang out, summoning citizens to hear the first public reading of the American Declaration of Independence. Visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Don’t forget to have your picture taken with the famous Rocky statue out front! Despite being steeped in history, Philadelphia is also a thoroughly modern, cosmopolitan city, with a lively bar and restaurant scene, street art, bustling food halls and markets, and a shoppers’ dream with tax-free shopping!
