Top Attraction – Philadelphia’s Rocky Steps

Our journey began in Philadelphia, where running up the iconic Rocky Steps felt like stepping straight into movie history. The view from the top overlooking the city is a memorable moment, and the perfect way to start an East Coast adventure.

Must See & Do – Whale Watching in Boston

One of the standout experiences of our trip was whale watching in Boston. Heading out onto the open water, we were lucky enough to witness these magnificent creatures up close—an awe-inspiring moment and a must-do on any East Coast itinerary. Boston itself offers a mix of culture and charm, and even a nostalgic visit to Cheers added to the fun.

Traveller Tip

The East Coast is perfect for a multi-stop road trip, so give yourself time to explore each destination fully. In Washington, D.C., the Spy Museum offered a fun and interactive experience, while Rhode Island gave us a taste of relaxed coastal living and quaint local towns. Ending in New York with a hop-on hop-off bus tour allowed us to take in the city’s highlights at a comfortable pace. For a seamless journey, plan your route in advance and book key attractions ahead of time—this ensures you experience the best of each city without any stress.
