Boston Vacation Attractions
 With so many Boston vacation attractions, it's hard to know where to start your Boston vacation. The visitor center - the start of the Freedom Trail - is near the tapering north end of the Common. As you stand here, facing up Tremont Street with the State House away to your left, the main shopping district, Quincy Market, and the waterfront are slightly ahead and down to the right. The modern concrete wasteland of Government Center is straight up Tremont Street, with the North End beyond - first Irish, then Jewish, and now very definitely Italian. A short way behind you on the left rises Beacon Hill. Heading away from the center down Tremont Street brings you to Chinatown and the Theater District, while grand boulevards such as Commonwealth Avenue lead west from the Public Garden into the Back Bay, where Harvard Bridge runs across the Charles River into Cambridge . The choices are endless! Boston also has other great attractions like theaters, parks, museums and nightclubs. Use our Boston guide to find the attractions that will make your Boston vacation fun and exciting!
