Ever arrived in a new city feeling overwhelmed by options? Boston's rich history, lively neighborhoods, and iconic sights can be a lot to take in. That's where Fodor's Boston Full-Color Travel Guide steps in, crafted by locals who know every redbrick alley and waterfront hidden spot.
This redesigned paperback packs fresh info into an easy-to-scan layout. You'll find over 25 detailed maps—including a free pull-out one—to get around Beacon Hill, Back Bay, or Fenway Park without a hitch. Multiple itineraries help organize your days, whether you're chasing history along the Freedom Trail or savoring Italian treats in the North End.
Imagine strolling Boston Common on a crisp fall day, guide in hand, knowing exactly where to find the Frog Pond or the best lobster roll nearby. It covers practical stuff too: beating crowds, saving money, getting around via T or ferry. Cultural insights dive into the city's architecture, cuisine, and vibe, answering questions like 'What's the deal with the Seaport?' or 'How do I hit Faneuil Hall without lines?'
Solo explorers can follow self-guided tours; families might hit the Public Garden then Museum of Fine Arts. Foodies, rejoice—'What to Eat and Drink in Boston' leads to under-the-radar spots. Even if you're extending to New England, it points you toward Maine Coast guides.
Backed by 80 years of Fodor's expertise, this guide feels like chatting with a knowledgeable friend. Grab it, tuck it in your bag, and let Boston unfold naturally. Your trip starts here.
