Over conference calls that go on forever? What about that awkward water cooler chit-chat? Say buh-bye to work and take off to Back Bay, a neighbourhood in the state capital, Boston. Keen to meet the locals? No problemo. Around 600,000 people live in Boston. Arriving in Back Bay from the closest airport, Logan International Airport, isn't hard. Just grab a taxi and venture 5 kilometres west. From there, you'll be 2 kilometres from downtown Boston.

Back Bay is a sightseer's paradise. A good number of the city's attractions are strewn near this unique neighbourhood, including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Harvard Square. After taking a look at those, you'll want to continue on to Copley Place and Boston Common. While you're in town, consider stopping by a few other neighbourhoods to see more of what Boston offers. Newbury Street and South End are good recommendations that are nearby.

A terrific reason to stay in Back Bay is that the USS Constitution Museum is situated 3 kilometres to the northeast. This renowned attraction never fails to inspire.
