With its myriad of historic and cultural attractions, it's easy to understand why travelers flock Boston each year. Guests can walk the two-and-a-half mile Freedom Trail that meanders past such famous sites as the Paul Revere House and Old North Church. Quincy Market, which has been open since 1824, is another popular site offering many shops and restaurants. The Boston Athenaeum, built in 1807, is another interesting attraction, serving as a museum, art gallery and a library with more than 700,000 volumes including nearly half of George Washington's personal library from Mount Vernon.

Outside of the city, there are plenty of fun day trips. A trip the Adams National Historical Park includes plenty of information about the second and sixth presidents. Head to Lexington and Concord to view the sites where the Revolutionary War began. Visiting Harvard and the town of Cambridge is another fun option.

Massachusetts is known for its abundance of inns and bed and breakfasts. Here are a few choices that are close to most of Boston's top attractions.

Guests staying at the Charles Street Inn in Boston's posh Beacon Hill area enjoy all the comforts of a top hotel with all the charm of an authentic historic Massachusetts inn. The inn was built in 1860, and each of the elegant guest rooms has a working fireplace and is decorated with period antiques. But there are plenty of modern touches, as well, including HDTV, a DVD player, Bose alarm clock with a CD player and wireless internet. Each morning, your hosts deliver a deluxe continental breakfast to your room.

The Gryphon House is another of Boston's historic gems, a charming 1890 inn located between the city's Back Bay and Boston University. The exterior features stunning Richardson Romanesque architecture. The interior still has the original wood floors, tiles, moldings and wallpapers. Each of the guest suites has a fireplace. A deluxe continental breakfast is served each morning. This Massachusetts inn offers convenient access to many of the city's popular site, and is less than two blocks from the Kenmore Square T stop.

Cambridge is an excellent location for travelers wishing to enjoy Boston, but stay out of the main city center. "A Bed and Breakfast in Cambridge" is just a few minutes' walk from Harvard Square in a beautifully restored Colonial Revival manor. Each of the guest rooms feature antiques and handmade quilts. A full, gourmet breakfast is served each morning. For an extra value, this inn participates in the Buy-One-Night-Get-One-Night Free program at iLoveInns.com.
