Anyone who would like to try something different for once New York I might consider Boston for a city break. I was there a few years ago, and this city really surprised me. There's plenty to do in the area!

From a visit to Harvard's world-famous campus, easily reached by bike from the city, to a whale-watching tour where the chance of seeing whales is guaranteed year-round. And I haven't even mentioned the many great restaurants and neighborhoods to explore during a city break. In this Boston City Guide, I've compiled our favorite discoveries for you. From hotspots to must-see things to do.
