Things To See/Do in Boston:

A walking tour is one way to see what Boston has to offer in terms of culture and history. The three-mile Freedom Trail is one way for visitors to immerse themselves in Boston's revolutionary history. The city played a key role in the founding of the United States and the tour takes in fascinating sites like the city's oldest house, which belonged to none other than revolution legend Paul Revere. Other cultural attractions worth a visit include: Harvard Museum of Natural History on Oxford Street, Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum at The Fenway and Boston Harbor Islands National Park.

Shopaholics will delight at the range of cheap high-street stores and trendy boutiques to be found in downtown Boston. Filene's Basement is popular with the city's local thrifty student population. The store offers fantastic value, with discount designer clothing on sale at cheap prices. Meanwhile, uptown girls and boys adore Newbury Street, where elegant department stores like Louis Boston and exclusive boutiques like Alan Bilzerian and Fresh take precedence.

While in town, you should try to catch a baseball game at the city's Fenway Park, which is home to the Boston Red Sox or a hockey or basketball game at TD Banknorth Garden, where the Boston Celtics basketball team and Boston Bruins hockey team battle it out regularly.

Boston's surrounding New England towns and villages offer plenty of scope for rental car touring. Concord is definitely worth a drive, the historic town was the one-time home of 'Little Women' author Louisa May Alcott and has strong links with America's founding fathers.

Eating Out/Nightlife/Accommodation in Boston:

Boston offers an excellent range of quality eateries to suit every budget and palate. If money is no object, hotfoot it to Abe and Louie's on Boyleston Street, where some of the best steaks in town are served up. Meanwhile, Bob's Southern Bistro on Columbus Avenue offers cheap and cheerful eats for those on a thrifty budget.

Most of Boston's clubs have a 2am closing time, meaning nightlife is somewhat muted. Landsdowne Street is the main focus of Boston's after-dark activity. Here trendy clubs include Avalon and Axis.

Boston offers a good range of quality hotels and accommodation to suit any budget. Those willing to spend top dollar will find luxury suites at Omni Parker House on School House, while thrifty travellers can avail of cheap lodgings at budget hostels like Beantown Hostel on Friend Street, where guests pay less for a good night's sleep.

DAY TRIPS AND DRIVES FROM BOSTON

For a break from Boston, hop in your rental car and drive to a location outside the city to experience New England life outside the big city. The area surrounding Boston city is rife with interesting and historical locations that are within easy reach of the city when you rent a car with Argus Car Hire. Low cost car rental gives you the liberty to explore Boston's environs without unnecessary impact on your budget - and it gives you the opportunity to do so in your own time.

The following are some great day trips you can make from Boston city;

Salem

The town of Salem lies just 16 miles to the north of Boston, making it an easy and quick drive from the city. Salem is infamous for its witchcraft trials of 1692, and on the back of these you will find the Salem Witch Museum, Village and the Salem Witch Trials Memorial, as well as countless other allusions to the Trials within other Salem attractions. The budget conscious will be happy to learn that the Memorial is free to enter, however there is a low cost of admission to the Museum (still cheap enough for thrifty tourists however).

Of course there is more to Salem than just the witchcraft and spookiness but with so many low cost, scary-but-fun attractions in the city, a huge part of Salem's attraction definitely lies in its creepy history. There are some lovely eateries and cafés in and around Salem, serving cheap but good quality New England grub - including, of course, the ubiquitous clam chowder.

Cape Cod

A trip to 'the Cape' is highly recommended if you have the time while on holiday in Boston. The landscape around the Cape is stunning, so much so that it was huge inspiration for the legendary American artist Edward Hopper who completed many paintings depicting the area. There are a number of fantastic beaches just waiting for you to lounge about on, and if you are a fan of seafood (and lobster in particular), you will find some superb cheap meals in the area. Low cost lobster, oysters, clams and shellfish are served in almost every restaurant (again, lots of creamy, steaming chowder served in a crusty bread-bowl).

P-town (Provincetown) is the most southern part of the cape, and is around 115 miles from Boston. The area is a trendy, funky spot with some superb - and thankfully often budget friendly - shopping, particularly in it's downtown district.

If you want to venture further, take a ferry out to Martha's Vineyard, an island off the coast of the Cape. Of course, this may be more suitable as part of an overnight trip - no sense in trying to fit too much fun into one day!

Loon Mountain

From Boston, a two-hour drive will bring you to the lovely Loon mountain. The drive itself is an enjoyable one with much gorgeous scenery around you to help the miles tick by, but the real treat is obviously the final destination. Loon Mountain is spectacular, particularly in the autumn when the mountain is decorated by millions of russet and yellow leaves

Take the sky ride to the summit (3,050 feet up), where you can get food and sit on outdoor decking to take in the scenery. If budget is an issue, the old faithful picnic may be a good cheap option here - although the options up there are generally quite low cost and good value.

There are glacial caves, a playground for kids, and nature programs to entertain you, as well as the winter sports of skiing and snowboarding when the snow falls. Guided horse riding is offered as well, along the Pemigewasset River and through the White Mountain National Forest. If you are trying to be thrifty, ignore all of these and simply go for a walk, the cheapest way to soak up the air up there…
