Tour & Travel Packages to Boston

Quincy Market. The official name of Quincy Market is the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, though Boston citizenry mainly call it Quincy Market according the name of burgomaster Josh Quincy, who built it in the 19th century. The market recommenced its work in 1976 and became one of the most popular sights of the city. Before that the condition of the complex leaved much to be desired and it even was under the danger of demolition.

Nowadays it's the place, where one can have a good time at cafe or restaurant or do some shopping. Quincy Market consists of 5 buildings: 3 of them are central and the other 2 are located to the south and to the north of them. The central gallery is called the Food Court. There one can find restaurants of various national cuisines: there you can try almost everything starting with Greece gardies, Italian pasta and ending with yogurt ice-cream and fried sausages. At the both sides of the gallery there are souvenir shops, where one can buy T-Shirts, photos with the image of Boston and some other trifles.

In the north and south buildings shops of world-known networks take place, but you can also find there some of original brands. Besides, a typical New English restaurant is located there; it has simply interior and grumbling servants. On the north side there is a colorful flower-market.

John F. Kennedy. In a small distance from Boston there is Brooklyn, the motherland of John F. Kennedy. In Boston one can visit John F. Kennedy Museum that is devoted to the life and heritage of the 35th president of the USA. The excursion there starts with a 15-minute video, in which Mr. Kennedy himself tells about his childhood, school years, the war and his political career. The exposition opens with the narration about the president election of 1960, during which votes for Kennedy prevailed with a minimal advantage.

More than that, there one can see Kennedy during the debates with Nixson (he was his main opponent) and also listen to his inaugural speech. Well-known phrase 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country' comes from this very speech. In the museum you can learn about the crises that took place while Kennedy was president: the Cuban Missile Crisis, the African American Civil Rights Movement and the Kennedy's visit to Berlin to the place, where the Berlin Wall had been just built. The exhibition ends with the dark room, where one can hear the sounds of shots that killed the president.
