Welcome to the Boston section of Discount Hotel Group. There are few places in this country where you can experience the full range of this country’s historical and cultural identity, but Boston provides the traveler this experience with authority. From Faneuil Hall to John Hancock Tower, Boston’s architecture gives evidence to its existence spanning nearly four centuries. Given the city’s origins some three hundred years before the invention of automobiles, it’s no wonder that Boston has earned a reputation as a city that is pedestrian friendly.

Whether it’s a stroll through the Boston Commons, window shopping on Newbury Avenue, or a walking tour of historic sites, the ways to explore the city on foot are numerous, and there’s apt to be an activity to indulge whatever you happen to be in the mood for. But don’t be fooled into thinking that you can see the whole city on foot. As one former Beantown resident put it, “I think most people would take the T between the Government Center and the Boston Commons”. Be sure to take advantage of efficient public transportation around town, and save some of your energy for the really fun stuff.

Among Boston’s distinguishing characteristics are the distinct identities of her different neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Each area has it’s own unique history and character. Whether it’s Cambridge or Back Bay, there is much to be enjoyed and appreciated when you have the time to explore each one individually. While it is possible to explore the city in a few days, Boston’s historical ambiance is probably best savored over a longer period, leaving yourself plenty of time to linger in the numerous museums and wander the North End in search of that perfect plate of Gnocchi.
