Hong Kong Cultural Centre

My friend had told me about going to see an amazing show here when she was viaiting but I couldn't find anything to watch the week i was there, bad luck eh? I did mamage to go to the exhibition in the Gallery though which was lovely. The artwork was modern, but not the same as the european modern style, fascinating.

Public Garden

posted by pashbaugh on 7 December 2010 at 12:35

Just a small dash off the Freedom trail, it's definitely a must-see if you have kids. The Swan boats are majectic and the ride is peaceful and pretty. They loved the space to run about and I really enjoyed the art that is hidden around the parkland.

Situated between boston common and the back bay area of town

State House

posted by jgibson on 7 December 2010 at 12:35

If this one looks familiar to Londoners then you're right, as it was based on Somerset House! The building looks impressive from the outside as well as the inside, which we saw on our guided tour which was informative and interesting. The best bit I learned was that the gold dome wsa painted black during WWII to protect it.

Freedom Trail

posted by hmoore on 7 December 2010 at 12:34

There really is nothing better for getting to know a place than going on a walking tour adn they don't come much more famous than this. Packed full of 16 landmarks detailling the lives and deaths of the revolutionaries that worked their magic there. Get a free map or just follow the red brick road, and the best bit is loads of the attractions are free!

The official starting place is Boston Common information Centre

Back Bay

posted by gjowers on 7 December 2010 at 12:33

Not a bay, but the most desirable area in Boston, inhabited by the wealthy, which makes it a great place to go for some free tourism. The streets are lovley, they were designed to be in the style of Paris and you really feel the influence. And the shops and restaurants are all excellent too. A must-go area, with Copley Square being the jewel in the crown.

subway...back bay or copley, on the banks of the charles river basin
