Boston

As one of the oldest settlements in the USA and the largest city in New England, Boston has a wealth of history and culture to offer. Despite the city's serious academic and historical pedigree, a huge student population ensures a youthful vibrancy that adds a totally different dimension to Boston's bygone charm.

Cambridge lies across the Charles River and is the largest college town in the world, synonymous with Harvard University and founded in 1638. The neat, ivy-covered brick buildings of the university grounds, the labyrinth of twisting streets in the city centre, and the old architecture means Boston is best explored by foot.

Referring to itself as the 'Walking City', it's remarkably compact and centres on the country's oldest public park, Boston Common. The Information Centre in Boston Common is the starting point for two walking tours, two of the city's main attractions. The Freedom Trail explores the city's revolutionary past and the birth of the modern American Republic, while the Black Heritage Trail highlights Boston's place in black American history and its role in anti-slavery.

Boston is an easy blend of historic charm and modern convenience, with a busy street life and beautiful architecture, green parks and gardens, skyscrapers and modern freeways, museums, galleries, and colonial churches. The city is home to the first public library, the first public school, and the first subway system in the US. It's the site of the Boston Tea Party that started the Revolutionary War and is the location of the Cheers bar, made famous by the popular TV sitcom.

Founded in 1749 by the British who sought to strengthen their presence in the North Atlantic, the city retains its British military air. Many historic stone and wood buildings have been preserved, particularly in the restored waterfront area, which has become a major tourist attraction. The metro offers shopping, exciting nightlife, eclectic restaurants and a diversity of entertainment, and it boasts North America's oldest yacht club, Northwest Arm.

Halifax is also the cultural hub of Nova Scotia and the Atlantic provinces as a whole. It has a number of art galleries, museums, theatres and other charming cultural attractions.

Portland

Portland is Maine's biggest city and is the state's cultural and economic hub, attracting over three and a half million visitors each year. Originally a fishing and trading settlement, the town was destroyed three times over a hundred year period, and finally regained stability as a shipping port.

Unfortunately, overzealous Independence Day celebrators managed to set fire to most of the city's commercial buildings, hundreds of houses, and roughly half the city's churches in 1866, with the city rebuilt once again, this time in a Victorian style.

Mansions along the famous Western Promenade, as well as the Victoria Mansion on Danforth Street, feature beautiful examples of this architecture. Companies and proprietors may offer tours of their well-preserved interiors.

Despite its tough beginning, Portland remains a beautiful city, ideally situated on a peninsula that juts out into Casco Bay and flanked by several small islands. Historic houses blend with modern amenities and the city is a bustle of activity, making it one of the country's top cities to live in.

Resplendent in natural beauty, Portland is highly popular in summer and visitors can enjoy boat rides; sightseeing, shopping, dining and people-watching at the Old Port historic waterfront and the East End; and a visit to the Downtown Arts District or the prominent Portland Head Light Lighthouse.

The city is also home to poet Henry Wadsworth-Longfellow, as well as the Maine Historical Society. For the kids, there is the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine. Portland has an abundance of good restaurants, especially those offering renowned local seafood specialities like Maine lobster, clam chowder, and scallops, which are cheaper and more plentiful than in any other state.

As Portland is the most culturally diverse city in Maine, you'll find a variety of cuisines, including Vietnamese, Thai, African, Greek, and Indian. The city boasts no fewer than five microbreweries, and dozens of bars, pubs, and nightclubs.

Portland has plenty of attractions, activities and sights for the visitor, and it is also a useful base from which to explore the rest of this beautiful state. Smaller towns in the area like Freeport, Cape Elizabeth, Old Orchard Beach, Saco, and Kennebunkport offer their own amusements that are worth exploring on a trip to the city.

You can witness this incredible sight from several lookouts and even take a jet boat or ziplining tour to experience the power of the Reversing Falls up close.

For history enthusiasts, the New Brunswick Museum is a treasure trove of artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of the region's natural and cultural heritage. From fossils and First Nations artifacts to shipbuilding and maritime displays, visitors can delve into the rich history of Saint John and the surrounding area. The Loyalist House, a beautifully restored Georgian mansion, offers a glimpse into the life of early settlers and showcases period furnishings and artifacts.

Nature lovers will be enthralled by the stunning landscapes that surround Saint John. One of the most popular destinations is Fundy National Park, located just a short drive from the city. This picturesque park is characterized by its rugged coastline, pristine forests, and dramatic tides, which are some of the highest in the world. Hiking trails, camping facilities, and breathtaking lookouts make Fundy National Park a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

If you're seeking more adventure, the nearby St. Martins Sea Caves are a must-see. At low tide, you can explore these fascinating sandstone formations, carved by centuries of powerful tides. Kayaking, whale watching, and fishing tours are also available for those who want to experience the beauty of the Bay of Fundy firsthand.

For a taste of local cuisine, be sure to sample the fresh seafood that Saint John is known for. The city's vibrant food scene offers a variety of dining options, ranging from seafood shacks serving up the day's catch to upscale restaurants specializing in gourmet seafood dishes.
