ABOUT THE DESTINATION: Luckily for travelers, Springfield is one of the Northeast's most walkable cities. Most of its historic sites, points of interest, and entertainment venues are clustered in the Metro Center neighborhood (aka downtown, where the skyscrapers are.) Thanks to Springfield's recent economic and cultural resurgence, tourist sites are well marked, as are many architecturally significant buildings. The Basketball Hall of Fame and Forest Park - both of which are well worth visiting - are Springfield's only major tourist sites outside of Metro Center; however, the Basketball Hall of Fame is within walking distance (it's less than a mile south of Metro Center, along the Connecticut River.) If you'd like to explore Springfield beyond Metro Center - perhaps experience Frederick Law Olmsted's Forest Park, his largest work next to NYC's Central Park - or further explore the artsy Pioneer Valley (maybe check out bohemian Northampton or Amherst, one of America's best-known university towns,) the clean, green, and reliable Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) [26] offers service to every Springfield neighborhood, and throughout the Pioneer Valley's cities and towns north to Amherst. For a mere $1.35 ($3.00 for an all day pass) on the PVTA, you can ride the 15 miles from Springfield to the counter-culture mecca of Northampton, or the 18 miles to student-centric Amherst, and vice versa. The PVTA is a cheap and an easy way to experience this compact and diverse region. Many of the routes that do not serve major points do not run after 7pm-8pm. Meanwhile service on weekends is limited, especially on Sundays, when intervals between buses can be up to 2 hours. You should be aware of the schedule of whatever bus route your using.

Located between Boston and New York, this was one of the first places in North America to be settled by the English pilgrims who arrived aboard the Mayflower in the fall of 1620. Before their arrival this place was inhabited by the Wampanoang tribe. Today it is an ideal place to travel by car, stopping at different locations or making a route through its many lighthouses and idyllic landscapes in which the coast in many cases presents its wild state since the strong erosion generated by the ocean does not allow them to be built. large hotel complexes. Some of the cities or towns that you should not miss are, Hyannis, one of the largest cities on Cape Cod and the quintessential summer resort of the Kennedy family; Sandwich, a small town that was one of the first cities founded in the area, Chatam, a small town with a mandatory stop to see its lighthouse, one of the most famous; Provincetown, one of the liveliest cities, with a lot of atmosphere and gay friendly. if you go, don't forget to try their famous lobster. Some other points of interest are Eastham, Truro or Falmouth. Throughout the area you will find a very varied offer of accommodation, restaurants and activities.
