Welcome to Boston
Welcome to Boston, MA, also known as Beantown. Perhaps, the most historically recognized city in the United States, with history dating back to the 17th century. Stroll by the Old North Church, walk the Freedom Trail, tour Paul Revere's house, Boston has it all. Sporting enthusiasts can catch the Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins, and the Pats. Boston is a cultural, historical, and sports mecca.
Boston calls itself "America's Walking City," and with good reason: driving can be a challenge. What better excuse to park your car and explore on foot? There's history around every corner.
No trip to Boston would be complete without a walk along the Freedom Trail, a red brick line winding through the Financial District, Beacon Hill and the North End, past dozens of famous landmarks--Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, Paul Revere's house. Beyond these streets where patriots walked are scores of distinctive neighborhoods to explore: Back Bay, Charlestown, Fenway and the South End. You'll rub elbows with Yankee pragmatists, Irish fatalists, Kennedy liberals, Brahmin blue-bloods, die-hard Red Sox fans and sleep-deprived students of every stripe--Boston has one of the highest concentrations of colleges and universities in the world. If you can say, "Park the car at Harvard Yard," without using an "r," you'll fit right in.
