Boston

Boston is the largest city in New England, Massachusetts which is only two hours from most of Connecticut and is highly recommended for a day trip. Explore the Boston city where the new and the old are in constant conversation, where cobbled-stone streets meet glass-enclosed shopping galleries, and where The Freedom Trail landmarks stand beside cutting-edge restaurants and renowned performance theatres brush shoulders with trendy nightclubs.

Uncover Boston's past while enjoying its distinctively modern edge. Start the day at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, where you will be transported to Venice with its lavish decor, sculptures, and paintings that compose one of the finest private art collections in the country. The museum is also the site of one of the world’s most famous unsolved art heists - that gives the tour of this museum a dash of intrigue and excitement! Enjoy the old masters and the brew masters, pedal-powered swan boat rides, or high-speed catamaran whale watches. Shop artisanal markets or chic boutiques. While the afternoon away at a sidewalk café or dining from the popular food trucks found throughout the city. Enjoy star-studded concerts, some under the stars. Take a walking tour or blaze a trail of your own. Stroll the lively waterfront or cruise the historic harbor.
