Not seeing something you are looking for?

It’s a serious haul from the Manhattan skyline to the cobblestones of Boston, but having a driver handle the I-95 makes the multistate trek feel like a breeze. These excursions whisk you north to the cradle of liberty, where you can walk the Freedom Trail, stopping at historic sites such as Faneuil Hall and the Old North Church. Grab a bowl of clam chowder at Quincy Market or wander the brick-lined streets of Beacon Hill—most itineraries include a guide to help navigate the city's Revolutionary War history, and you'll be back in NYC by nightfall without any of the logistical stress.
