Pros: save cash on culture
Cons: the pass expires
For great savings on sightseeing, check out CityPass. The little booklet saves you 50 percent on sights and attractions in cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and San Francisco. How does it work? First, plan your trip. If...

Pros: Lots to do and see in Boston
Cons: n/a
The top 5 things to do in Boston, Massachusetts. Not in order; they're all equally worthwhile.
1. Visit the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. I've enjoyed all of my visits there. I've been there at least 6 times, and I look...

Pros: Amazing!
Cons: Too small to share properly
I can't believe that I'm writing a piece suggesting that people travel to Boston-- tourists are such a pain in my side. Boston is so small and difficult for the unexperienced to navigate that tourists are a near-constant source of frustration for those...

Pros: The crowds if you want to be with 100,000 of your closest friends.
Cons: The crowds if you've got claustrophobia.
Just seeing the festivities on TV does not do the Esplanade extravaganza justice. You have to be there.
I have only attempted going to the actual concert once. Because we arrived in the late afternoon, the closest we got to it was a major...

Pros: something for anyone curious about our world!!
Cons: can be expensive..check for library passes,discounts!
We had the good fortune to visit this museum over the Memorial Day holiday when most Bostonians had gone to Cape Cod's beaches. We literally walked right up to the ticket counter (this is UNHEARD of!) and got our tickets (discounted thanks to a...

Pros: Lots of History
Cons: Lots of Walking!
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
I'm taking a break from my usual medical epinions to write a little about our recent trip to Boston. I hadn't been there since I was 5 years old and my wife had never been.

by mattjoe - Top 100, Jan 17 '00
Pros: AEROSMITH, RED SOX, and ummmm nothing else
Cons: overly crowded. Traffic, prices of parking
That pretty much sums up Boston, except for the pan handlers that think you ought to give them something for nothing. No I won't spare some change, I only carry credit cards andeven if I did have money why should I give it to you for nothing ? They just...

Pros: Always active, pleasant to walk in, easy to traverse, and oh the food is great.
Cons: Can't drive, easily, but that's a good thing. Expensive price of living
My brother is smart.
Really smart.
He went to MIT during his college years (not so long ago). Towards the end of his stint there, I slipped off between my graduation and my new job to visit him in Boston.
Two years...

Pros: Clean city, plenty of night life, friendly locals.
Cons: Its hard to understand the friendly locals sometimes.
This past summer me and some guys, who for lack of a better word I call friends, took a road trip to Baltimore to watch a Baltimore Oriole-Philadelphia Phillies game. Okay, it was more like we used the baseball game as an excuse to get away from the ...

Pros: Bookstores, cafes, the law offices of Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe
Cons: none
Boston, like any big city, is made up of neighborhoods, and Harvard Square (pronounced Hahvahd Squayah) is a fun neighborhood to explore.
Getting There
Be forewarned:Boston is undergoing a majorconstruction project called...

Pros: A totally exciting city & manageable in size; relive history
Cons: Summer & winter weather can be brutal; traffic & parking are problematic
Boston is a city we've visited recently while shopping for colleges and we're delighted that our son will be attending school nearby so we can return and return (well, as often as he'll allow). The skyline isn't impressive, but the city is old America...

Pros: Fascinating historical perspective
Cons: A little bit out of the way
The Kennedy Library is the repository of the papers of President Kennedy, and as such it is an important research facility. The Kennedy Museum, which is part of the Library, is a real gem.
The museum is small, human sized, and can be fully...

Pros: The Ritz serves a very nice tea
Cons: Don't show up without reservations.
Nothing is nicer than catching up with a friend over tea at the Ritz Carlton in Boston. Located across from Boston's Public Garden on the corner of Arlington Street and Newbury Street, this is centrally located and easy to get to from any place in the...

by Quebecoise , Aug 02 '00
Pros: Massive array of family activities, both in the city and surrounding towns
Cons: New England weather isn't always cooperative
Choosing a solitary or couples' vacation is easy. Choosing a destination for the family is a little more complicated--particularly if your clan includes kids with a wide age range. Boston, however, offers something for every member of the group.
