Boston & Cape Cod Fly Drive Holiday

8 days from £1,145pp

Combine two centres of American history on this suggested twin centre holiday, one a pulsating, cultural city, the other a bohemian enclave in a spectacular coastal setting. Start in Boston, where there's a museum or a historical site to discover round every corner, as well as captivating neighbourhoods to explore and stunning parks and gardens to wander in. Pick up a car from here and drive south along the Atlantic Coast to Cape Cod where you will have plenty of time to explore this famous corner of New England from your base in Provincetown, where the Pilgrims first landed in 1620.

Holiday Highlights

Walk down the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail in Boston and learn of America’s Independence along the way.
Discover pretty Provincetown, located right at the tip of the Cape, with its colonial and cultural heritage. Notable former residents include Tennessee Williams and Jackson Pollock.
Take a whale watching cruise from Cape Cod and you’ll be in for a treat. The cape has a rich feeding ground offshore that attracts a large percentage of the world's whale population annually.
