Boston travel tips
Get ready for high accommodation prices in Boston
Accommodation in Boston is one of the main travel expenses, as staying in the city is really very expensive. In summer, a bed in a 6-bed dorm costs around $60 per night. A private room in a 2-star hotel will cost from $170 in peak season and from $100 in the low season. If you’re low on budget, it’s better to book a room on Airbnb – a private room starts at $65 per night.
Enjoy the architecture of the Boston Public Library at Copley square
The Boston Public Library is built in the style of the Italian Renaissance palaces. Spend time looking at the vaults of this fantastic building! Sometimes you can get inside even if you are not a Boston resident — check the schedule and activities on the library’s website.
Grab some sweets at legendary Boston bakery, Mike's Pastry
Sweet teeth will certainly appreciate Mike's Pastry bakery, famous for its cannoli with cream. The venue first opened its doors in 1946 and since then has earned the recognition of both locals and former US President Bill Clinton. On average, the prices for cakes here range from $3-5.
