Itinerary
Day 1 | Day time flight to Boston
Today set off for Boston, taking your day time flight across the Atlantic, a journey time of 7 – 8 hours – a few movies and a meal, and you’ll be there! On arrival take a taxi to your hotel and settle in.
Day 2-3 | Explore Boston
Spend the next two days exploring this historic East Coast City, founded in 1630 by colonists from Plymouth, and the location of several renowned events from the American Revolution including the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party. In the present day, the old world charm lies side by side with gleaming skyscrapers, hip museums and top-class restaurants. As well as large open spaces, the City has the Charles River at its heart and an attractive and bustling Harbour. ‘Must do’s in Boston include walking the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail that links 16 iconic sites as well as enjoying some excellent shopping at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, alive with busy boutiques.
Day 4 | Travel south to New York
Time to hit the Big Apple! Take the train, a journey time of approximately 4 hours, or instead pick up a rental car, but remember the cost of parking when you arrive in New York.
Day 5-6 | Shopping and siteseeing in the Big Apple
Iconic sites in New York are of course plentiful, you might even like to extend your stay, especially if you’d like to fit in some shopping. Top in the popularity rankings tends to be seeing the statue of liberty from the Staten Island ferry, strolling around Central Park (a green space woven in to the fabric of this metropolis), summiting the Empire State Building, hanging out in the bright lights of Times Square, exploring the Met for a spot of culture, and of course visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum – a powerful reminder of the lives that were lost that day.
Day 7 | Continue South to Washington DC
Today hop on the train South to Washington DC, a slightly shorter journey than down from Boston to NYC. After your arrival in Union Station, take a taxi to your hotel and settle in to your third and final East Coast city.
Day 8-9 | Explore THE 'CAPITAL OF THE FREE WORLD'
Over the next few days, make time to visit The National Mall, a two mile green strip stretching from the US Capitol to the iconic Lincoln Memorial, where you can find some excellent museums belonging to the Smithsonian Institution and free to enter. It is also home to some of America’s most important monuments and memorials, including the World War II Memorial overlooking the famous Reflecting Pool. Plan ahead and book free tickets to go up the Washington Monument to experience the panoramic views.
Day 10 | Fly back to the UK
Make the most of your last day before flying back to the UK overnight, perhaps enjoying an al fresco lunch with views across the Pontomac River in charming Georgetown, the oldest part of Washington.
