Boston Business Trips: What to See Whilst You’re in Boston

The nature of business travel has changed dramatically over the years – these days, corporate travellers tend to stay in another country for longer, and ‘staycations’ - a corporate trip with additional days added to the beginning or end for leisure purposes - are increasing in popularity. Traveller preferences are shifting towards long-term, flexible accommodation rather than expensive and impersonal hotels, and visitors seek to explore beyond the traditional tourist traps. An extended stay in Boston presents plenty of opportunity to explore beyond the Financial District.

Here we have gathered some of the top sights to see during your business trip to Boston:

1. Fenway Park

One of the city’s most famous sights, Fenway Park is known across the globe as the home of the Boston Red Sox and the beating heart of Boston each and every game day. The lively local student population comes together with passionate sports fans and excited tourists to watch the Red Sox play – an indisputable Bostonian tradition. If you can’t snag a ticket to a game during your stay, Fenway Park is still well worth a visit – settle down in one of the many sports bars and get involved in the electric atmosphere.

Boston Common is the city’s oldest public park and one of its most iconic spots. Filled with locals and tourists every day, it is the perfect place to relax in the gardens on a lunch break, enjoy a picnic or even get some exercise. Visit the George Washington Statue, looking authoritatively over the park, or observe the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, erected in memory of those who served in the Civil War. The park is known for being particularly spectacular during the autumn, when the trees become a kaleidoscope of glowing colours.
