Boston, the birthplace of American independence, is one of the premier destinations for visitors to the United States. It's also the world's largest academic centre, home to over 50 universities.
There really is something for everyone in this 'city that feels like a town'. One of America's oldest cities, Boston is said to have a very European feel.

In fact, it's the best of both worlds: a charming city best explored on foot, with all the advantages of modern American life. There's so much to do in Boston that you'll have trouble fitting it all in. Why not start with a view of the city from the harbour, with a cruise? For a really memorable experience, you can even go whale watching.
To learn about the history of the city, join the free guided tours provided on the Freedom Trail. Follow this with a little more culture at the world-class Boston Museum of Fine Arts, or many other museums of all kinds.

Shoppers should visit Harvard Square, Newbury Street and Quincy Market, where both large chains and unusual independent stores can be found.
Combine your shopping with stunning views from the Skywalk Observatory in the Prudential Center. Day or night, it's a sight you won't forget.
