An estimated 50,000 Scotland fans travelled to Boston for their team's World Cup Group C matches at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Tartan Army won the hearts of locals, with the Boston Globe publishing a full-page tribute thanking them for their contribution to the city. Although Scotland has been eliminated, Boston will still host a quarter-final tie on July 9, and many fans are already planning return visits.
Escape to Cape Cod
For those seeking a break from the city, a short ferry ride takes visitors to Cape Cod, the hook-shaped peninsula extending into the Atlantic Ocean. The journey lasts about the duration of a World Cup match. At the northern tip lies Provincetown, a coastal resort known for its seafood shacks, lighthouse, and golden sand beaches—ideal for a day trip.
Ferry Services
Boston Harbor City Cruises operates seasonal passenger ferries from May to October, offering both sightseeing excursions and direct routes to Provincetown. The service provides a convenient escape for visitors wanting to explore Cape Cod's natural beauty without the hassle of driving.
