Boston, MA

When it comes to cities steeped in U.S. history and culture, Boston is simply unrivaled. From Boston Common to the Old State House, Faneuil Hall to Bunker Hill, the city is an iconography of colonial America. Providing a survey course in the highlights, the 3-mile Freedom Trail takes visitors to 16 sites archetypal of 17th century and 18th century America, including the sites of the nation's first public school and of the Boston Massacre.

But it's not strictly for history buffs. Check out the Museum of Fine Arts for a spectacular collection that includes many Impressionists, or head down to the Public Garden for a relaxing ride in the famous Swan Boats. Besides walking, an extensive and convenient subway system (the "T") is the easiest way to get around Boston, with most fares costing $1.25 for adults and 60 cents for kids.

Logan International Airport is in East Boston and provides free shuttle service to the airport stop on the T's Blue Line. Taxis charge a metered rate within a 12-mile radius of the airport and a flat rate beyond that, but a typical trip to downtown Boston will cost $20 to $30. Rapid bus service to South Station downtown (Silver Line) is also available for $1.25.
