Boston is the largest city in New England, and an internationally renowned hub of
education, performing arts and finance. Its historic sites, research
institutions and sports stadiums give the city a unique flavor and attract over
16 million visitors every year. It is common for tourists and visiting
executives to use limousine rentals for transport around the city, as they
offer great comfort, convenience and luxury, and enable visitors to customize their
trips and get the most out of their Boston
experience.
If you are visiting the city for the first time or for a short period of
time, you may be overwhelmed by the choices on offer. It is crucial to plan
your Boston day
trip in advance in order to maximize your time and capitalize on the luxury and
convenience of your limo tour. The following are five must-see Boston attractions that
deserve a place on your itinerary and are sure to make for an unforgettable
limo tour:
Museum
of Fine Art
Boston is home to many world-class museums,
including the HarvardFoggMuseum,
the IsabellaStewartGardnerMuseum,
the SciencePark
and the BostonBeerMuseum.
However, the Museum
of Fine Art is the cream
of the crop -- and with good reason. It is the largest museum in Boston and one of the largest in the US. Its
comprehensive collection of over 450,000 works -- ranging from Egyptian
sculptures dating as far back as 1500 BC to modern video installations --
attracts over one million visitors every year. The museum boasts over 200
galleries and the largest collection of Japanese art in the world. After
walking around its galleries and gardens, you will be glad to return to the
comfort of your limousine!
New England
Aquarium
Next, cruise on over to the nearby New England Aquarium, a pioneering and
renowned public aquarium that attracts over 1.5 million visitors a year. The
appeal of the aquarium can be attributed to its amazing collection of sea life:
over 20,000 aquatic animals and over 500 species can be found here, including
many tropical fish, sharks and eels housed in a manmade Caribbean
coral reef. Even if you don't consider yourself particularly interested in
marine life, use your limousine tour to stop by for a short while and visit the
aquarium's Giant Ocean Tank -- the penguin exhibit alone will be worth the
trip!
Newbury Street
Now that you have experienced both culture and nature, head on over to Newbury Street for
some shopping at famous outlets and small designer boutiques. From your
limousine you will be able to admire the architectural richness and urban
vibrancy of the street, and emerging from your luxury vehicle at the door of an
upscale store is sure to become a memorable part of your day. Newbury Street is
famously known as one of the most expensive streets in the world, but even if
you are not looking to shop excessively, you will find a great deal to admire
and enjoy here.
FenwayPark
No visit to Boston
is complete without a visit to the headquarters of the Red Sox Nation. The
Boston Red Sox have an almost mythical place in Boston
history and culture, and if you want to see what the fuss is about, catch a
game at FenwayPark -- but be prepared to be swept up
in the fervor! The city's enduring love of their native baseball club has
created many legends and unusual features in FenwayPark.
The most famous of these is the "Green Monster" -- an eleven meter
wall in left field which was constructed as early as 1912 and has seen many
renovations and additions since. Other features such as "the
Triangle," "the Lone Red Seat" and "Pesky's Pole" all
boast a rich and well-loved history that is sure to make any sport fan and Boston enthusiast's day.
North End
Finish your limo tour with a visit to Boston's
North End, one of the oldest and most diverse areas in the country. Its rich
history is reflected in the many historical landmarks and over 100 restaurants
and eating establishments which populate this small area. A limo tour of its
architecture and historic landmarks and dinner at one of its many fine restaurants
are sure to be the perfect end to a great Boston
day tour.
A limousine tour of Boston
will allow you to sit back and luxuriate in the sights and sounds of the city.
You will be able to visit many different places without dealing with the hassle
of traffic or public transport, while enjoying the service of a knowledgeable
chauffeur. Moreover, the on-board conveniences of limousines can be as varied
and stunning as your imagination and budget allow. For the best experience,
plan your trip in advance and ask your limo company for any available packages
and discounts.
