Boston

There’s a Freedom Trail, world-famous Fenway Park and the country’s first college: Boston is history, culture and sports wrapped up in neat bayside package.

Take our word for it, Boston is one of the greatest. The maple trees are beautiful. There’s too many historical places to count and the sports teams are as dominant as ever. Need more reasons to visit? How about the funky vibes in the Beacon Hill neighbourhood and iconic eats like fried oysters and maple bacon donuts? And let’s not forget the Boston Beer Company. They have a brew that costs $200 and is illegal in 15 states.
