New England

Uncover the heritage and history of colonial America visiting cities founded by Puritans and Pilgrims, and learn more about the revolutionary past of Boston along the Freedom Trail. Along the Cape Cod National Seashore visit creative and eclectic local communities and enjoy a thriving arts scene, distinctive lighthouses and charming small towns. Explore the beauty of the White Mountains and spot wildlife in the Androscoggin Valley. Or sample the magnificent lobster and blueberries the state of Maine are renowned for.

When to Visit

Crossing various time zones, there is always good weather somewhere in the United States. Summer is the most popular time to visit, but winter offers plenty for the more active looking for snow. Los Angeles weather ranges from 14-25ºC degrees year round with New York averaging from 5-30ºC degrees.

Highlights

MASSACHUSETTS Well-known as the birthplace of America, from the landing of the pilgrims to the American Revolution, Massachussetts has so much more to offer beyond its history - hundreds of kilometres of coastline, charming small towns, sophisticated Boston and so much more.

FOOD & WINE New England's regional produce is second to none. There's nothing like apple cider, a clambake by the beach, pumpkin, peach and apple pies and the region's own clam chowder. A number of microbreweries and vineyards also dot the region.

FALL IN NEW ENGLAND Autumn, or fall, in New England is one of the best times to visit. The region bursts with colour as the foliage changes from green to a brilliant kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, golds and yellows. The colours splash across hillsides and valleys, down mountains and along the coast.

CAPE COD Discover maritime charm in abundance in Cape Cod and its islands, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. With dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean, whale watching and delightful fishing villages Cape Cod is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the coastal scenery.

HISTORY Visit iconic Boston landmarks related to the American Revolution, explore the town of Salem, famed for its 17th Century witch trials or travel the historic highways of Pennsylvania to learn more about Civil War history at the most famous battlefield, Gettysburg.

NATIONAL PARKS Acadia National Park is a marvel of natural scenic beauty with 200 kilometres of hiking trails set against a backdrop of pine-covered forests and rugged coastline. Ride the world's first mountain climbing train to the top of Mount Washington, New England's highest peak to enjoy spectacular views over the White Mountains and the valleys of New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
