BOSTON - East Coast America

Steeped in American history and home to many colleges and universities, Boston has a small town feel even though it’s one of the biggest cities on the East Coast.

Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, a visible and energetic gay population calls Boston home. Visitors will find a good selection of places to stay and eat. The City’s public transit system includes underground trolleys and railroads making it easy to explore the city even if you’re car-less. Areas of note include the downtown historical district, the South End, which in recent years has become Boston's "gay" section; and Cambridge - across the Charles River and home to Harvard University. For those interested in Colonial American history and Federalist architecture, Boston is a city not to be missed.

Of all the great US East coast cities, Boston is one of the easiest to get to and has a great selection of gay bars, restaurants and clubs. Just six hours away from the UK with flights at sensible times, this is certainly a destination worth considering for a short break, or as an addition to New York and especially Province Town which is just 90 minutes away by fast ferry or a couple of hours drive though the Cape Cod scenery.

This compact city offers an array of architecture from 400 year old American heritage to new gleaming sky scrapers. This is the place of the Founding Fathers and the Boston Tea Party after all! Great shopping, tree lined streets to wander and vast selection of bars restaurants and cafe make Boston a fun and enthralling city to visit.
