Popular historical buildings and museums are often described with cutaway diagrams allowing you to view “inside” your destination, sites are shown with bird’s eye plans and small, more conventional maps contextualise regions and pinpoint places of interest.The guide has a separate chapter on Boston and then looks at the rest of New England region by region. A travellers’ needs section details places to stay, eat and shop, as well as looking at entertainment, nightlife and outdoor activities. A survival guide features practical tips for preparation, logistics and health and safety.
