The city is constantly changing. People from Boston years ago would look at the town today and notice something completely different. We have new buildings, stores, bars, and apartment complexes developing every day. For better or worse, if I were to give you directions somewhere, I would likely reference businesses that no longer exist. A local would know what I am talking about, but a tourist would have no clue of the landmarks I referenced. Because of all the new sights to see and explore, Boston is the perfect place to visit. You don’t even need to schedule your trip while you’re here. You can play everything by ear and still have a great time.
You couldn’t help but pick up a few fun facts along the way.
Whether you live out in the Boston suburbs or are visiting from out of state, this summer is the perfect time to come for your vacation or staycation. Boston residents, too, have many things to explore. There are tours I haven’t even gone to yet that are still on my list — and I live right down the street. The R-rated Boston Strangler tour, visiting JFK’s love nests, and even the Rum, Riots, Writers, and Revolution tour are a great way to learn something new and hang out with friends. If you happen to get hungry during your visit, you can taste a slice of Italy with the Italian Pizzeria Tour. Enjoy free concerts held nightly on the Hatch Shell and Boston Harbor Hotel. As the weather turns and the city comes back to life, be sure you make your way here. I wish you and your family happy and safe travels this summer. Maybe I’ll run into you downtown!
