History buffs can explore America's oldest black church building at the African Meeting House or snap photos on Instagram-famous Acorn Street. Getting around is easy with three nearby metro stations including Charles-MGH on the Red Line. Upscale bistros and cosy cafes fill historic shopfronts, while boutique hotels in converted townhouses offer luxury accommodation.

Fenway Park remains gloriously unchanged, a baseball cathedral where fans worship the Green Monster wall with religious fervor. At Quincy Market, sample clam chowder while street performers work for your spare change. The North End's narrow streets hide Italian bakeries where cannoli wars have raged for generations. Harvard students cross the river to visit actual students, while the Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures that would make European museums jealous.
