Trips to Boston

Revolutionary War buffs may already known about the connection between Lexington and Concord, two cities in Massachusetts just seven miles apart from one another. In Lexington, known as the Birthplace of American Liberty, the first shot of the American Revolution was fired. In neighboring Concord, one of the first battles of the war took place. Both destinations are packed with history, and visitors should absolutely make time to tour the Minute Man National Historic Park, the Concord Museum, the 18th century Buckman Tavern and the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, which is the final resting place of authors like Louisa May Alcott and Nathaniel Hawthorne. To navigate between the two cities, there is a seasonal trolley throughout the summer that hits most of the historical high points and is perfect for a day trip from Boston.

7Newport

Head across state lines to Newport, Rhode Island, which is just 70 miles (110 km) south of Boston. Newport is known for its abundance of stately homes and mansions, its beautiful beaches and its charming downtown. Travelers on a budget can enjoy the three-mile Cliff Walk right along the coastline, head to the beach for a swim, spot the famed forty steps landmark or drive along Ocean Drive to see the amazing architecture in the city. If you would rather steep in Newport’s history and experience life like the rich did, then tour Astor’s Beechwood Mansion or Vanderbilt’s The Breakers before doing some upscale souvenir shopping along Thames Street.

6Crane Beach, Ipswich

If you’re planning a day at the beach from Boston, you’ll be less than an hour from countless destinations. Arguably one of the best, however, is Crane Beach. Located just outside of Ipswich and overlooking Ipswich Bay, Crane Beach is an enormous coastal destination beloved by beach-goers throughout New England. Crane Beach offers pristine beaches, beautiful dunes and even maritime forests. Stroll along the five-mile boardwalk, enjoy a packed picnic lunch or stay for the sand-building competitions right on the beach each summer.

5Plimoth Plantation

If you’re familiar with early American history, then you have probably heard of Plymouth Rock, the spot where the Mayflower arrived on the journey of the pilgrims from Europe to the new world. The city of Plymouth is steeped in history, and one of its most fascinating attractions is Plimoth Plantation. The landmark is a living history reenactment center, and it helps visitors experience what life was like in the year 1627. You can chat to colonists who lived and worked in Plymouth, asking them about their lifestyles, the foods they eat and where they learned their skills. You can enter the tiny homes they lived in and even dine on the traditional culinary delights of the early 17th century. The Mayflower II, docked near the Plymouth Rock, is also under the care of the museum.

4Rockport

Just 40 miles (65 km) north of Boston, on Cape Ann, is the city of Rockport, Massachusetts. Like many coastal New England destinations, Rockport is home to plenty of wonderful seafood restaurants, a stunning rocky coastline and beautiful scenery. What sets it apart, however, is the fact that Rockport has been an artist’s colony since the 1800s. Today, that art and culture is alive and well, and you’ll have the chance to tour dozens of art galleries. Whether you’re shopping for a few paintings for your home or you’re just an enthusiast interested in seeing local works, Rockport is the ideal art-lover’s getaway.

Known as Hollywood East, Martha’s Vineyard is absolutely a place that you can enjoy on a day trip from Boston.

2Provincetown

Located at the very tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown is yet another thriving artist colony on the beach. Progressive, liberal attitudes reflect that artistic spirit, and Provincetown definitely offers something for everyone.

Even if you’ve never been to Massachusetts before, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Salem and the city’s witch trials that famously took place in the 17th century. Halloween collectibles and themed museums abound, and you might be interested in a visit to the Salem Witch Museum, the Witch Dungeon Museum or the walking witch tours. For the more traditional visitor, it is definitely important to spend some time admiring the 18th century architecture for which Salem is also famed. In the late 1700s, Salem was one of the biggest cities in New England, and areas like the Chestnut Street District, the McIntyre Historic District and the Charter Street Historic District provide the chance to see beautifully restored homes from more than two centuries ago.

Holiday in Germany

Most of us only get two weeks holiday a year, which is enough to experience the essence of Germany. But if you’re lucky enough to have three weeks, you can add several exciting destinations to your experiences. A third week allows you to travel to northern Germany, and visit even more romantic castles and charming medieval towns. It also gives you more time to eat hearty delicious German foods, including a variety of sausages, and drink the famous German beers.
For the first two weeks see this 2-week German itinerary. Instead of staying in Frankfurt however this itinerary takes you from Heidelberg to Bacharach where we pick up the journey.

Bacharach (2 nights)

Bacharach is a good place to take that Rhine Valley cruise you’ve been dreaming about since it lies in middle Rhine River country. Before or after your cruise, you’ll want to explore the Old Town with its famed timber houses, towers on the wall that surrounds the city, medieval cathedrals and the hillside Stahleck Castle, now a hostel, Most river cruises last a half day. If you head south to Rudesheim, you’ll see so many picturesque castles, you may get ‘castle overload.” If you head toward St. Goar, you’ll pass by the statue of Lorelei, a muse legendary for bewitching medieval sailors. Each direction is scenic as all get-out.

Cologne (2 nights)

Cologne has a rich history, not all of it pleasant ̶ it’s been occupied by the French several times and was one of the most heavily bombed German cities in World War II. All of this contributed to making Cologne the interesting place it is today. Much of the city was rebuilt following the war, but segments of its medieval history still remain. This includes the 13th century Cologne Cathedral, the most visited landmark in Germany. With 30 museums and hundreds of art galleries, you’ll soon realize why Cologne is the Rhineland’s cultural center. Cologne hosts a renowned Christmas market and one of the largest street carnivals in Europe during the winter.

Hamburg (2 nights)

Hamburg was the unwitting inspiration for the term “hamburger,” ground beef that doesn’t contain ham. Chopped steak was popular with the German immigrants who traveled to the United States through this port city in the 19th century. To entice German customers, New York restaurants offered Hamburg-style steaks. After eating chopped steak here, you’ll want to visit the landmark St. Michaelis Church and town hall, both of which tower over the city. Other “can’t-miss” sights include the four-level aquarium at Hagenbeck Zoo, the huge harbor that’s said to be lit up with fairy lights at night, and Miniatur Wunderland, with its model train complex that is a favorite of all the miniatures with visitors.

A top sight is Holsten Gate, one of Germany’s most visited sites, at the entrance to Old Town. Take time to wander Old Town’s alleys where the medieval buildings seem like doll houses. Lübeck has a museum for every taste and a charming Christmas market in December.

Schwerin (stopover)

Schwerin is a good place to break your day as you travel from Lübeck to Berlin. Surrounded by lakes in northern Germany, Schwerin is a pretty medieval city whose Old Town suffered only minor damage during World War II. The main reason to stop here is to see Schwerin Palace that sits on an island in Lake Schwerin. The palace, nicknamed “Neushwanstein of the North,” is considered a prime example of romantic Historicism in Europe, and was once home to the dukes of Mecklenburg. Today a state parliament meets there. The palace is said to be haunted by Petermannchen, a small ghost wearing 17th century garb.

Berlin (2 nights)

Your tour of Germany ends back where it started three weeks ago: in Berlin. Now is the time to take in sights you missed during your first visit. This includes the Holocaust Memorial, with its 2,711 concrete slabs;, and Checkpoint Charlie, the crossing gate between East and West Berlin when it was a divided city. You’ll also want to visit Potsdamer Platz, the city’s main square, and the Tiergarten, a former hunting reserve that’s now a public park. It’s also your last chance to eat schnitzel, those fabulous German sausages and pork knuckles.
