Description:
Founded in 1630, Boston is one of America’s original cities. Located between the Charles River and along the Atlantic Ocean, Boston is a compact city of distinct neighborhoods with a walkable downtown and an almost European-like feel. Explore the quaint colonial architecture of Beacon Hill, have a café in the Italian North End, shop the boutiques along Newbury Street in the Back Bay, or spend an afternoon in the academic enclave that is Cambridge. Boston is rich in American history and the Freedom Trail, a 2 1/2 mile red brick path, will wind you through the downtown area to visit 16 historically important sites- among them Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House and the USS Constitution. If you’re not up for a walk, try a Swan Boat ride on the lagoon in the Public Garden, or try the quintessential Boston experience, a Red Sox home game. The Boston dining scene goes way beyond baked beans and over-cooked roasts, offering up fine dining, celebrity chefs, along with famous breweries and bars. Boston offers more attractions and experiences than most visitors can see in just one trip.
