Day 1: City of origin Boston (MA)
Flight departure from the city of origin to Boston (Massachusetts). After the necessary arrivals and customs formalities, you can pick up your rental car and start enjoying your holiday. Considered one of the founding cities of the country, this enclave overlooking the sea displays an inexhaustible offer of leisure and entertainment that suits all tastes and budgets. Enjoy its unmistakable atmosphere, a mixture of local and international, a boat ride, a bike tour, a beer in its university bars... For dinner in Boston, local specialties revolve around seafood. Try lobsters, clams and oysters in the historic "Union Oyster House", one of the oldest restaurants in the unofficial "Capital of New England". Overnight stay in Boston.
Day 2: Boston (MA)
We continue to discover this great American city. We recommend following the “Freedom Trail” itinerary to learn about Boston's role in the independence of the United States and the emergence of the new nation. It's a path of around four kilometres marked out with a red line with stops at historical sites. During the tour, you can see and visit emblematic places like Boston Common (the oldest park in the country) and Old State House. The amount of sites of interest to visit in this city is immense. Among our essentials are the Quincy Market, the soul of downtown Boston, where you can find a market, interesting restaurants, flirtatious shops, lively bars... Its building is a true architectural icon! Another good option is to visit the Prudential Tower, popularly known as "The Pru", the largest skyscraper in the city that offers 360º views of the entire city from the 50th floor. Sports fans will not
17/01/2021 1 US: East Coast iconic "sport stadiums" Route, tailormade by car want to miss a visit to Fenway Park, the home of the famous Red Sox. It is one of the sports sanctuaries in the United States and the oldest baseball stadium in the country. Located at number 4 of Yawkey Way, the legendary Fenway Park has been the home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912, one of the most famous and awardwinning franchises not only of baseball but of the whole of American professional sport. In approximately one hour of guided tour, called "Fenway Park Tour", you can discover some of the hundreds of romantic stories, deeds and disappointments that enclose its ancient entrails and its characteristic stands. And is that fans do not want to leave this small stadium in favor of a more modern one located on the outskirts, because they consider that one of the main hallmarks of the city would be lost. You can even admire the views from the famous 11meter wall called "Green Monster" that dominates the "Left Field" of the Fenway Park. What an experience! (Note: open every day from 9 am to 5 pm, except from November 1 to March 31 which opens one hour later. These schedules can be modified on match days and by other activities such as concerts and festivals). Boston is also home to the New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL), whose Gilette Stadium is just 34 miles southwest of Boston, in the town of Foxborough. This magnificent stadium does not offer guided tours, but if you plan your trip during the regular season (from September to January) you will see this team play six times winner of the "Superbowl", the trophy that the winner of the American football league receives. If you didn't get tickets to watch a Patriots game at Gilette Stadium, go to "The Greatest Bar", located in downtown Boston. It is a huge leisure and entertainment center dedicated to sports with a large number of television screens and an environment that has little to envy to the same stadium. Go Pats! Overnight stay in Boston.
Day 3: Boston (MA) New York (NY)
We leave behind the beautiful city of Boston to go to the "City that Never Sleeps", the exciting New York, crossing the state of Connecticut. It is a journey that will take you about 4 hours behind the wheel, so you should make a stop halfway to stretch your legs. For example in Hartford, capital of Connecticut, where you can stroll through its famous Elizabeth Park, the largest and oldest rose garden in the country. The city of New York is divided into five boroughs: Manhattan is the most touristy, and then there's Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. Settlers bought Manhattan from native Indians for the equivalent of $24. Since then, the city has been expanding, becoming a worldwide commercial reference and a global financial center. New York is one of the world's most fascinating cities. Immigration turned it into a true melting pot with hundreds of nationalities speaking more than eight hundred languages. What's more, the crime rate plummeted under Rudolph Giuliani's time as mayor and the city is now perfectly safe for tourists. Precisely in the heart of Manhattan stands one of the main mecca not only of American sport, but of the entertainment in general of the United States. It is, of course, Madison Square Garden, abbreviated as MSG or The Garden and known as "The World's Most Famous Arena" ("the most famous pavilion in the world"). Located at the crossroads between Seventh and Eighth avenues, the current MSG opened on February 11, 1968 is already the fourth venue with that name built in the city, and hosts the matches of New Yorkers' favorite professional teams, such as the New York Knicks and the New York Liberty basketball and New York Rangers ice hockey. Sign up for a fantastic "MSG All Access Tour" that will present you in all its splendor this iconic multipurpose enclosure for 75 intense minutes. You can visit exclusive parts of The Garden, soak up its history and legend thanks to an expert tour guide, and experience the most modern virtual reality technology that will allow you to immerse yourself in one of the worldclass events that the MSG hosts, from boxing and Athletics until concerts of the main stars of international music. A real blast! (Note: open every day from 9.30 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. and from 3.15 p.m. on match days of the Knicks, except from November 1 to March 31, which opens one hour later. These schedules can be modified by activities such as concerts and other sporting events). Seize the opportunity to soak up the city's vibrant nightlife. We recommend dinner and a drink somewhere in Soho or Tribeca. Overnight stay in New York.
Day 4: New York (NY)
For the tourist, the opportunities in the socalled "Big Apple" are endless. The Empire State Building and its observation deck boast panoramic views of the entire city. Central Park is the lung of the city and the perfect haven for disconnecting from the hustle and bustle. Times Square is a retail and entertainment hotspot famous for its iconic neon billboards. Fifth Avenue is one of the world's most famous and expensive streets thanks to its opulence and highend boutiques. Wall Street and its skyscrapers in the business district are well worth seeing. A walk along the Brooklyn Bridge and the High Line, and a visit to the Statue of Liberty are something you cannot miss. As for museums, the MOMA, the Guggenheim and the Metropolitan are essentials. If you prefer musicals, head straight over to Broadway. And within this "Route through the iconic sports pavilions of the East Coast" could not miss the Yankee Stadium, located in the Bronx. There reside the famous New York Yankees, the most successful professional baseball franchise with 27 World Series championships (world series), name with which the MLB winner title, or Major League Baseball is known. Thanks to the "Yankee Stadium Classic Tour" you can discover both the history of baseball and the franchise, visit exclusive places such as the bench itself, the press room, the Museum of the New York Yankees and the Monument Park Museum, and learn about various events that the venue has hosted throughout history. Each tour, lasting approximately one hour, is directed by an expert tour guide who will ensure that your visit is as complete as possible in this authentic temple of baseball. If you have purchased tickets to watch a Yankee game, you can join the "Hands on History" experience of the museum held 90 minutes before the first ball is thrown. Can you imagine being able to play the bats that used myths like Babe Ruth or Ichiro Suzuki, the Mickey Mantle shirt, baseballs, World Series rings and many more memories of the legends of the Yankees' past and present? Simply unforgettable! (Note: open almost every day from 11 am to 2 pm. It is advisable to check their website to check availability and schedules). If you do not have a ticket, but you want to experience the atmosphere that is lived on game days, do not miss the " Stan's Sports Bar", located near the stadium. In addition to the Yankees, New York is home to another great baseball team, the New York Mets, which play at Citi Field, located in the Queens district. The "Citi Field Tours" include a onehour tour of the pitch, the bench, the press room, the control room of the markers and the Hall of Fame and Museum of the Mets, which has interactive exhibits, videos and historical sports equipment. (Note: open Wednesday and Friday from 11.00 am. These schedules can be modified by activities such as concerts and other sporting events). Overnight stay in New York.
Day 5: New York (NY) Philadelphia (PE)
Although New York is also home to two professional American football teams, the New York Giants and the New York Jets, the truth is that they both play in the neighbouring state of New Jersey. More specifically, they play in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in the town of East Rutherford, which is around 50 minutes drive northwest of the "Big Apple". You can take a guided "MetLife Stadium Tours" visit lasting 90 minutes where you can walk the on the pitch where some of the nation's favourite athletes play and visit other "premium" areas, including the VIP suites, the press room and the Commissioners Club. (Note: individual tours only take place on Saturdays between 10 am 1 pm. Group tours are available from Monday to Friday at 10 am, 1 pm and 4 pm.

Once you're ready, it's time to head for the city of Philadelphia, in the state of Pennsylvania, which is around an hour and a half's drive. Philadelphia is a city of enormous relevance for the American people. It was the former capital of the United States and its role in democracy was key when the country was taking its first steps. Its historic quarter is

Day 6: Philadelphia (PE) Baltimore (MA)
We leave the state of Pennsylvania behind to enter Maryland, where the city of Baltimore stands, the next destination of this eminently sporting route. To get to the largest city in the state of Maryland you have to drive about 2 hours on I95 S, first along the Delaware River and then through the Susquehanna River. Baltimore is a multicultural city ideal for all types of travel because it has everything and everyone. A clear example is the "Downtown" (urban center) of Baltimore, the most famous shopping and entertainment area of the city that houses the famous Inner Harbor (internal port), formerly the second most important port for the arrival of immigrants to States United. There you will find Harborplace, the Convention Center, the Baltimore National Aquarium, as well as a multitude of museums, shopping centers, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. And also the Camden Yards sports complex, which includes Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadium. The first is the home of the Baltimore Orioles since 1992, three times World Series champion, whose "center field" is located in the same place where the legendary Babe Ruth family home was! In fact, two blocks from the Oriole Park you can visit the Museum and Birthplace of this legendary athlete who defended the Orioles shirts, where he received the nickname "Babe" ("Baby") for his youth, the Red Sox, the Yankees and the Braves, during the team stage in Boston, currently in Atlanta. The Oriole Park is a very charming stadium thanks to its traditional architecture reminiscent of the precincts of the first third of the 20th century, considered as "The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball" ("The stadium that changed baseball forever"). The luxury suites, the marker control room and even the benches are part of the "Oriole Park Tour", a visit that lasts for an hour and a half.

Overnight stay in Baltimore.
Day 7: Baltimore (MA) Washington DC
We are heading to the capital of the United States, the magnificent city of Washington DC (District of Columbia). The trip to "DC", as it is known colloquially, will take you just an hour behind the wheel again on the asphalt of I95 S. Adjacent to the popular Navy Yard neighborhood since 2008 is the Nationals Park, stadium where the local baseball team called Washington Nationals plays. This modern sports venue offers guided tours of 90 minutes between the months of March and November, some tours that include the possibility of launching in the warmup area: the Nationals Bullpen. Practice a fastball or curve in an exceptional scenario!

Day 8: Washington DC
Get ready to spend a whole day in the capital of the United States. It is highly recommended to go to the National Mall, a park where the Capitol, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial are located. The Washington Monument is the tallest building in the area and one of the city's major landmarks. If you're not afraid of heights, a lift will take you to the top to admire a magnificent view of the capital. The Capitol (open every day from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, free admission) houses the Congress and the Senate. On the other hand, the Lincoln Memorial marks the end (or the beginning) of the National Mall. That's where Martin Luther king Jr gave his famous speech "I have a dream". Along the National Mall, there are several memorials (to the Korean War, to Vietnam veterans and World War II) as well as museums. As you only have one day in Washington DC, you'll have to choose which museums interest you the most. There's so much culture on offer here, including the Holocaust Memorial, the Natural History and the American History, and so on. Along the way is also Smithsonian Castle, an iconic red building. Right next to the National Mall you can find the White House, where the President of the United States resides. (Note: there are free tours between 7.30 and 11.30 am..

It is a 4hour drive that runs through the western part of the state of Maryland. The Pittsburgh Pirates, who have 5 World Series championships and are one of the oldest MLB franchises, play baseball at the PNC Park. Opening in 2001 along the Allegheny River, near North Shore Riverfront Park, it is the fifth Pirates stadium in its 115year history.

The Steelers play in the Heinz Field, next to the PNC Park, where the "Steeler Nation" faithfully attends every day of the game, an unofficial name for the Steelers fanbase with its unmistakable "Terrible Towels" (yellow towels that members wave, giving a spectacular image in the stands). The "Heinz Field Tours" only take place April to October and include visits to the FedEx Great Hall, where you can find souvenirs of all kinds, and the Steelers Hall of Honour, the locker rooms, Replicas of the 6 Superbowl trophies, the benches, the pitch and the stands that once belonged in the former and legendary Three Rivers Stadium, an area that Pirates and Steelers shared until 2000. Overnight stay in Pittsburgh.
Day 10: Pittsburgh (PE) Cleveland (OH)
Continue to the city of Cleveland, also known as "The Forest City", located about two hours behind the wheel in the direction of Lake Erie, already in the neighboring state of Ohio. The Cleveland Indians, twice winners of the World Series, play baseball at Progressive Field located in the Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex in downtown Cleveland. The "behind the scenes" tours, which start from the Team Shop, only take place from May 1 to August 31, rain or shine. Benches, batting cages, FanCave, the famous The Corner Bar and the press room are included in the visit. (Note: Visit their website to check availability and tour schedules). For their part, the local football team, the Cleveland Browns, play at FirstEnergy Stadium on the shores of Lake Erie, no doubt in a beautiful location. Currently there are no tours of the venue, but we recommend that you plan a visit on a game day. The Dawg Pound Drive area turns up to three hours before the initial beep into a gigantic family festival, with thousands of Browns fans eating, drinking and having a great time. Because in Cleveland, the show is also outside the stadium. At lunchtime, you can pop over to the Gateway District to dine at some of the trendy restaurants or head straight to Little Italy. A good way to work off lunch and spend an interesting afternoon is at the Zoo or the freeof charge and very interesting Cleveland Museum of Art. There's no better place for dinner than on East 4th Street, where the city's most innovative culinary proposals are clustered. Before heading to bed and if you've still got enough energy, head to Flats East Bank, the place with the most bars and clubs in the whole of Cleveland. Overnight stay in Cleveland.
Day 11: Cleveland (OH) Chicago (IL)
Head out of the hotel to Gordon Square Arts District. Here you have donuts with beer for breakfast, and beer with donuts for lunch, and so on throughout the day. There are many types of donuts and beers, so you'll find the best combination for sure. After this sweet treat, our recommendation is start touring the city from the West Side Market and work your way east through Cleveland. Nearby you'll find Public Square in downtown Cleveland, a veritable ode to the pedestrian. It's an open space, with a 38metrehigh monument to fallen soldiers in the southern part, and is surrounded by the skyscrapers of the financial district. It also plays host to hundreds of events each year, from concerts, public votes or food truck gettogethers... Check the website to see the plans for the day of your visit and soak up the atmosphere. In addition, the immense Lake Erie is a navigable and very pleasant lake. You can access the lake from East 9th Street, where your next stop is located. It is the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a true paradise for lovers of this musical genre. It showcases objects belonging to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, U2, Michael Jackson, Gun N'Roses and many other music greats. Split into different levels, very diverse activities take place on all of them. It's suitable for the whole family and a very entertaining attraction. You should keep in mind that Chicago is about 5 hours away by road, in the state of Illinois. We advise you to return to the road for good now so as not to arrive too late to the "Windy City", one of the urban jewels of the United States. Chicago boasts excellent museums, as well as countless coffee shops, restaurants, bars and clubs where you can enjoy jazz and blues. The Loop is the central business district or downtown of Chicago. Here you'll find Millennium Park, with its gigantic and opulent sculptures. Don't forget to take a picture in front of Cloud Gate or the Crown Fountain. And get ready to take quite a few more! You can't leave Chicago without trying one of their legendary thick pizzas. And if you have time, visit the legendary Al Capone bar, the "Green Mill", ideal for listening to jazz and having a drink. Overnight stay in Chicago.
Day 12: Chicago (IL)
Chicago is one of those cities that wows you wherever you go. Few sensations can be more pleasurable than listening to music in the open air at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. What's more, The Loop is home to amazing cultural attractions and some of the city's most famous skyscrapers. From here you can also access the Navy Pier, a wonderful way to start the day. It opens at 10.00 am and commands one of the most outstanding views over Lake Michigan, as well as the childfriendly activities in the city. The Ferris wheel and Chicago Children's Museum are always a safe bet. From here, you can catch any of the boats that offer a laidback tour of Lake Michigan. (Note. Excursion not included). To see the city from another perspective, nothing better than heading up the Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower), more than 400 metres high. You can marvel at the modernity of one of America's most captivating cities. A major landmark you'll see from here is Michigan Avenue, aka the "Magnificent Mile". When you get back down, you can make your way over there. You'll find exclusive boutiques, an array of restaurants and a very select atmosphere. This neighbourhood is also the perfect place to admire the urban architecture. You don't have to be an expert in the discipline to enjoy walking up and down South Michigan Avenue or State Street. South of The Loop, art lovers will come across the best museums in the city. Our favourites are The Art Institute of Chicago where time seems to have stood still among its valuable works of art and the Field Museum of Natural History, where you can 'meet' the famed TRex Sue. Don't forget to ask about it! Chicago has representatives in all major US professional leagues. The United Center, the largest sports hall in the country opened in 1994, is home to the Chicago Bulls basketball games and the Chicago Blackhawks ice hockey, but does not offer guided tours. Of course, it is essential to take a picture next to the statue of the legendary Michael Jordan, without a doubt the best basketball player of all time who won 6 NBA titles between 1991 and 1998... playing for the Bulls of course. The statue of "Air" Jordan, together with the legendary hockey players Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, they are scattered around the United Center. They have no loss!

Important remarks
Tips in US are a common practice.. Generally in US the accommodation in the triple rooms have two double beds or one double and one single bed and the quadruple accommodation has two double beds.. Driving in the USA: 1.Overtaking on the right is not only legal but everyone does it. And the sooner you get used to roads with more than five lanes, the better. 2.It is legal (and mandatory) to turn right on a red light when there is a signal to do so. 3. With regard to parking, make sure you check when you can park on the street and never park in front of a fire hydrant (even though there are no signs prohibiting it). If there are lines painted on the road to mark out parking spaces, leave the car right in the middle of them, however huge the gap may seem. Be especially careful in the centre of big cities and don't let the parking meter go over by even one minute (check before paying because there are days of the week or certain times when you don't have to pay). 4.Beware of tolls. They will be indicated with the words toll or turnpike and don't usually have a barrier, so you can drive through them without realising and then receive a fine a few weeks later. Don't drive in FasTrak Only lanes and make sure you have some cash on you, as some tolls are cashonly. 5.Unless you want a ticket and a stern chat from a Highway Patrol Officer, it's best not to drive more than five or ten miles above the maximum speed allowed for the road. If the police end up stopping you, keep your hands on the steering wheel and in sight at all times and don't even think about trying to be funny. 6.We recommend signing up to roadside assistance services and a GPS when you hire a car.. Please check which documents are required to enter the country.. Passports are required to get into Arlington Cemetery.. The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.. A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for checkin at hotels.. Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult..
