New England

4.4
The six states of New England make up one of the earliest English settlements in the nation, and the springboard from which the US gained independence in the 18th century. With its rolling hills, snow-capped mountains, and extensive coastline, New England draws scores of tourists annually. Your New England itinerary can combine the beautiful outdoors (think skiing in winter, foliage tours in fall, or a beach holiday on Cape Cod) with plenty of culture and history alongside to boot. New England was one of the leading abolitionist states, and today is considered a world center for education, medicine, and technology, with renowned institutions like MIT and Harvard situated in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Arrange all the small, but important details of your New England trip itinerary using our United States trip itinerary planning site.
