Amtrak Vacations offers this 4-day independent city stay covering Boston and Cape Cod. In Boston, a multi-day hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour and a CityPASS covering the New England Aquarium and Museum of Science, plus a choice of 2 more attractions, cover the city's historic sites such as Faneuil Hall. A roundtrip Provincetown Ferry then carries travelers to Cape Cod, known here for its quaint villages, lighthouses, beaches, and seafood restaurants.
