Free Boston Travel Advice Travel

By: Glenn Reschke

Boston is one of the most cosmopolitan and historic travel destinations in the world and certainly in the United States. There are many reasons to visit Boston. Everything that a "Boston Traveler rolling duffle" would want to see is there. With its Revolutionary War history, its nationally renowned sports teams, its legendary educational institutions, and its proximity to Cape Cod and other venues, make Boston a great travel spot.

With such great opportunities for entertainment and site seeing, however, comes high prices, and it has become increasingly difficult to find bargain deals in Boston as well as its suburbs. That is why I’ve compiled a quick list of cheap Boston hotels, bars and activities that both locals and tourists can use when going out in Boston.

Cheap Boston Hotels

First, I suggest going to the Internet to find everything from Boston Hotels, Stuart Street to Hotel Marlowe Boston Hotels Discount Hotel Reservation to Boston Hotels Boston Luxury Hotel Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston even to Boston Hotels Research Boston Hotels And Reviews Online and erotic boston hotels. Youc an also find family luxury boston hotels deals. Online, you'll also find out details like whether there is cable television, a pool, health club, daycare, etc. Other details like the distance from shopping areas and places of interest will also be available to you via the Web.

Some of the more popular as well as affordable hotels in Boston are The Howard Johnson Inn of Boston. It’s located next to Fenway Park in downtown Boston. Another one in downtown Beantown is the Chandler Inn Hotel. If you want to stay by the airport, the Hampton Inn of Boston, is only a mile from Boston’s Logan Airport. Also, The Ramada Inn is in downtown Boston and is a very popular family hotel.

Lastly, there is a nice hotel called A Bed and Breakfast in Cambridge (a suburb of Boston), which is a 1897 colonial revival house. One more option is tthe Beacon Inn of Boston as well.

Some inexpensive entertainment venues are:

Freedom Trail Walk

You can walk the Freedom Trail -- it goes from from Boston Common to Bunker Hill) The trail begins in Boston Common and continues towards Faneuil Hall, winds through the North End, and then ends with a loop around Charlestown and the Harbor. It’s approximately two and a half miles.

The Boston Bike and Brewery Tour

If you enjoy bicycling, you’ll enjoy this leisurely stroll. Well, I shouldn’t say leisurely. It’s a 15 to 20 mile bike ride with mostly flat terrain. Estimated time is four to four and a half hours. You’ll spend a good amount of the time at the Harpoon Brewery as welll as at Carson Beach. I suggest letting Boston Bike Tours guide you. On the third Saturday of each month from late Spring to early Fall, the BBT guides its customers through the Financial District to Castle Island and Carson beach and then to Boston's Harpoon Brewery for a beer and a tour (you’re not obligated to buy a beer, of course). The tour, with bike, helmet, water and beer included, is $25, $20 if you bring your own bike. We recommend making reservations. Their number is (617) 308-5902

You can get this info from from zagat surveys Boston restaurants guide I suppose, but this short and sweet overview I hope with your eating endeavors while traveling in Boston.

Check out McCormick and Schmick's at North Market Building by Faneuil Hall (this is downtown Boston). This is an upscale seafood restaurant. However, During happy hour, anyone can afford M&S’ great food. Specifically, check it out from 3:30 to 6:30pm Monday through Friday and 10pm-12am on Saturday and Sunday. During then, the bar features a $1.95 menu featuring standby favorites such as burgers, chicken wings as well as something Boston is well known for -- seafood. The $1.95 menu features seafood favorites like such as oysters and clams. Be advised that the menu changes daily and there is a minimum drink purchase required. I suggest making a reservation -- it’s popular.

Another good place is Grendel's Den is located at 89 Winthrop Street, Harvard Square in Cambridge, a suburb of Boston (it’s by Harvard University). There are food specials from 5-7:30pm and after 9:30pm at this popular bar. The entire menu is half priced, giving the diner on a budget a good menu options but is inexpensive too. Incidentally, on Sunday evenings there is a special dollar menu, featuring items like burgers, sandwiches, and even Italian pasta. There is, however, a minimum drink purchase of $3 required for the discount prices to take effect. Overall, it’s a great atmosphere and a good dining experience.

That should get you started. I hope this free boston travel advice travel and the boston travel and tourism travelogues and Boston Traveler rolling duffle info has been helpful.
