Time Travel
Walk the 2.5-mile, red-lined Freedom Trail past 16 historical sites. See the grave of John Hancock, old meetinghouses, famous churches, the home of Paul Revere, the site of the Boston Massacre, Quincy Market and the USS Constitution— Old Ironsides— the world’s oldest commissioned warship still floating today.
Two If By Sea
See Boston from the water while on a scenic sightseeing harbor cruise. Check out the city’s historic skyline, bridges spanning the Charles River, and Boston’s harbor islands. You can sail by wooden schooner, take a climate-controlled boat ride, or enjoy a fully narrated Duck Tour in a WWII-style amphibious landing craft.
Steeped In History
Step aboard a full-scale restored 18th-century boat and explore American history at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museums during your Boston cruise. Let historical interpreters, artifacts, and an award-winning film engage you in the story of the Sons of Liberty, whose infamous political protest helped ignite the American Revolution.
Local Cuisine
Nothing beats eating a New England lobster roll by the harbor. And don’t miss Union Oyster House, one of America’s oldest restaurants, for Island Creek oysters and their famous clam chowder. Try Boston baked beans and scrod fish fillets. Parker House rolls and Boston cream pie were both conceived here too— and head to the North End for Italian-American fare, especially sweet cannoli.

STOP FOR A PHOTO OP
Take a scenic ride through Shete Boka Park for three incredible sites— the Boka Tabla, where waves break so high against a rocky inlet they look like a geyser; the Boka Pistol, where giant waves make a thunderous sound as they crash into an underground cavern; and the natural bridge which the ocean has carved out of the rock.

Head to the 4,450-acre wildlife preserve, Christoffel Park National Curaçao, to spend the day immersed in unspoiled nature. Hike or bike any of eight trails and get to know the indigenous flora and fauna— like white-tailed deer, barn owls, blue iguanas, and rare wild orchids.

ROADS LESS TRAVELED
Buckle up for an off-road 4X4 ride through the rough and rugged Aruba Arikok National Park. Along the way, you’ll spot the local plants and wildlife of the craggy but beautiful coastline on your way to Conchi, a natural pool created by the ocean’s relentless crashing waves.
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’
Perched on the northwestern tip of the island, you can climb to the top of the recently renovated California Lighthouse for panoramic views of the crashing waves of the windward coast. From 100 feet up, you can even see the tranquil waters of the leeward shore.

The water off Aruba is teeming with marine life and you can see it all up close by riding in a high-tech submarine 150 feet below the sea. As you explore in comfort during your Aruba cruise, you'll pass schools of tropical fish, huge sponge gardens, colorful coral reefs, wreck sites and even scuba divers.
LOCAL CUISINE
Taste your way through the multicultural heritage of the island. Sample Argentine meat dishes, Venezuelan empanadas and arepas, and nutty Dutch cheeses. Or for something a little more Caribbean, try a hearty pumpkin soup or gumbo with some pan bati— a pancake made from wheat and corn flour.

KULTUR FIX
Promenera längs Tampa Riverwalk och se var den leder dig. Du kan utforska interaktiva utställningar på Tampa Bay History Center, eller göra stående paddleboarding från Sail Pavilion. Tampa Museum of Arts samlingar sträcker sig från forntid till modern tid — och på Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park finns plaskfontäner, en lekplats och utsikt över stadssiluetten.
KOM TILL SANDEN
En kort 30 minuters bilfärd västerut från staden tar dig längs kusten av Mexikanska golfen, som är kantad av stränder med sockersand. Clearwater Beach och St. Pete Beach erbjuder oslagbar havsluft, medan Caladesi Island State Park och Fort DeSoto Park erbjuder lugna stränder.
SE HAVET
Kom in i Florida Aquarium och möt över 20 000 arter av vattenlevande växter och djur. Kryssa till Tampa och se floduttrar på Florida Wetlands Trail och ringsvansade lemurer på resa till Madagaskar. Säg sedan hej till goliath-havsaborrar, stingrockor, revfiskar, havssköldpaddor och hajar i viken och längs stränder.
DET LOKALA KÖKET
Tampas matscen kommer från en fusion av kubanska, spanska, italienska och Floribbeanska influenser. Lokala barer serverar färska räkor, ostron, pilgrimsmusslor och havsaborre från Mexikanska golfen. Den kubanska sandwichen — toppad med Genua salami — är en signaturrätt. För en smak av äkta Florida Cracker-mat, prova sofkee-gröt, pilau (riskakor) eller stekt alligatorsvans under din nästa Tampa-kryssning.
SHOPPING
Hämta upp tropiska kläder och Florida-inspirerade souvenirer i Channelside Bay Plaza, som ligger utomhus precis vid hamnen. Gå till Hyde Park Village för exklusiva butiker, och stanna på shopen för lokala sportkläder hos ekiperare Salt Pines. Inget slår Ybor City när det gäller udda vintage butiker och handrullade cigarrer.
INSIDER TIP
CityPASS ger dig tillgång till sevärdheter av högsta klass som Busch Gardens, Florida Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo och mycket mer, allt till en paketpris av $106 för vuxna och $96 för barn — och det är giltigt i 9 dagar.
