Boston, Time Out (6th ed. Mar. 15)

6th edition March 2015. 280 pages, fully illustrated with lots of colourphotos. 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 takes travellers 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 travelers who want to explore further, the guide covers highlights of New England’s history-rich Colonial countryside, pretty coastal villages and glorious sandy beaches — all an easy drive out of town.
