So compact is New England that most of its attractions lie within easy daytrips range of its unofficial capital, Boston, or nearly anywhere else in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, most of Connecticut, or the southern parts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. For both area residents and visitors alike, daytrips are the ideal way to probe this treasure-filled corner of the nation. Fully updated, Daytrips New England, 2nd ed., includes tips on traveling to 50 different locations throughout New England, many of which do not require a car. Includes 45 road and town maps, hundreds of website addresses, full travel directions, restaurant suggestions, and background material.

Discover 50 great places on your own, including four walking tours of Boston, 22 locations throughout Massachusetts, Providence, Historic Newport, Mystic, The Connecticut River Valley, Southern Vermont, the Monadnock Mountain Area, and five destinations throughout Maine.

Earl Steinbicker is editor-in-chief of the Daytrips travel series, which he continues to expand and revise. The author of ten guides, he currently resides in the Philadelphia suburbs.
