The itinerary

  1. Boston3 nights
  2. New York City4 nights

Why this trip works

This itinerary combines city breaks, history and culture, and food and drink across Boston and New York City. Bringing the stops together gives the holiday a clearer progression and makes better use of the outward journey than booking each place separately.

How flexible is it? This itinerary can credibly be planned with a relaxed to balanced daytime pace, balanced to lively evenings and mixed to hotspot crowd settings within its fixed route. The typical version has balanced days, balanced evenings and a popular setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.

Best time to go

The strongest travel period is May to June and September to October. April and July to August are good quieter alternatives. Getting around is mainly by trains.
