A flight to General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (BOS) gets you into New England's commercial and cultural center, which appeals to both those on business and holidaymakers. Once you get your rental car, use the Sumner Tunnel to reach the North End district of Boston.

Parallel park your vehicle on a cobblestone street near the Paul Revere House to discover the history of a prominent American patriot who participated in the American Revolution. When you're ready to enjoy the traditional taste of Boston, try some American Lobster or order a mug of Samuel Adams beer at a local pub such as Beantown on Tremont Street.
