Boston (Massachusetts, USA)
|
|
16:00
|
|
|
Boston, capital of Massachusetts and the gateway to New England, is laden with history but at the same time vibrant and bursting with energy. Indeed, Boston - with a population of just over half a million - is one of the most interesting cities in America in terms of both history and culture - as well as one of the most beautiful. Unlike most major cities, it still has countless historical buildings and areas, and is among the architectural must-sees of America. Historic buildings, picturesque cobbled streets and relaxing parks meet with modern high-rise buildings, giving a surprisingly harmonious overall effect. A section of the Berlin Wall can be viewed at the harbour, from where you can also set off on a whale-watching trip.

Royal Naval Dockyard (Ireland Island, Bermuda)

The Royal Naval Dockyard, also known as King's Wharf, is on Ireland Island in the most westerly of the nine regions of Bermuda, Sandys Parish.
The port facilities were operated for many years by the British as the "Gibraltar of the West". It served as the dockyard and supply station for the ships sailing between the West Indies in the Caribbean and Nova Scotia. The fort, built between 1814 and 1863 served as a base in both World Wars and was abandoned in 1951.
The buildings were later given a new lease of life: today there is a Museum of Seafaring, a cinema, an arts and crafts market and the Bermuda Snorkelling Park.
The beautiful beaches of Somerset Long Bay are also close by.
Nowadays, the dock is a port of call for many cruise ships. Other ports in the Bermudas are St. George and Hamilton.
