Hot Spot
Boston, US
Famous for its riverside parks, seafood and beautiful architecture, Boston has a fabulously diverse appeal, and is at its most colourful come Fall. You don’t have to be a sports fan to enjoy a tour of the Red Sox’s Fenway Park, America’s oldest Major League baseball stadium, and several Boston restaurants come with a side order of history, too. If you want delicious comfort food, head to Union Oyster House, which opened in 1826. Don’t miss the chance to chuck tea bales into the harbour at the brilliant Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, which has one of only two surviving tea chests retrieved from Boston’s waters. The city’s prettiest neighbourhood is Beacon Hill, which borders Boston Common and its neighbouring Boston Public Garden (pictured), a park filled with ridiculously inquisitive squirrels. Afterwards, toast your thirst at nearby Cheers Boston – the pub that inspired the sitcom – where you can pose alongside character cut-outs and check out memorabilia. Be warned – the theme song, played on repeat, is annoyingly catchy, and you’ll be singing about the bar where everyone knows your name for weeks to come.
