Of all the large cities in the United States, Boston is one of the most history laden.
This New England metropolis provided the backdrop for historic moments such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party, and is also home to the country’s oldest subway system. Greatly influenced by the presence of its prestigious educational institutions and rich cultural fabric, Boston’s city and surrounds offer a wealth of treasures to be explored.
Steeped in Puritan history, Boston’s streets are storybooks unto themselves. Wander through ageing cemeteries scattered throughout the CBD, or relive moments of the American Revolution and some of US history at its best. For those in search of knowledge, a visit to the city’s reputable universities – Harvard and MIT – will reveal the training grounds for some of the world’s most respected minds, in addition to beautiful verdant campuses dotted with charming buildings. Finally, for the sporting enthusiasts, a trip to Boston is not really complete without attending a Red Sox game (providing it’s baseball season). Home to the Red Sox is Fenway Park, which is known for its electric atmosphere and die-hard fans.
