Time Out Boston (Time Out Guides)

US Books > Travel > Reference & Tips > Guidebooks

Traditionally regarded as the center of America’s intellectual and cultural elite, Boston not only houses venerated museums and performance venues, but also a thriving alternative arts scene. Using local experts and journalists, Time Out Boston takes travelers on an in-depth tour of the essential sights—the landmarks of the Revolution, the elegant English-inspired architecture of affluent Beacon Hill and Back Bay, the colleges and hip hangouts of neighboring Cambridge — as well as the local curiosities most tourists miss. For more adventurous travelers, the guide covers highlights of New England’s history-rich Colonial countryside, pretty coastal villages and glorious sandy beaches — all within an easy drive out of town.
