Welcome to Boston!
Boston is probably the most historical city in America - it is where American history began more than 300 years ago. Boston itself was founded in 1630, nearly 150 years before the colonies formed a new nation. Since then, it has been this site for innumerable events that changed the face of the continent, most notable among them being the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere's ride.
Now Boston is a thriving metropolis and the capital of the state of Massachusetts, but it has admirably retained its historical landmarks. It has gone so far as to link 16 of the most important historical buildings and attractions via the Freedom Trail, a 3-mile long tour that follows a red line embedded in the pavement. Walking this trail is an exercise in both fitness and history and is one of the most intriguing attractions in America. Study up on Boston history before you come here, and you will be amazed at how well things are preserved.
The downtown is located on a peninsula that juts into Inner Boston Harbor, with the Charles River beginning at the north end. A very pretty city, it is just finishing up a massive change - the aboveground highway, I-93, has been rebuilt underneath the city through a series of tunnels, thus opening up new public spaces, parks and gardens, and making Boston much more beautiful, reconnecting it to its' historic waterfront. Known as the Big Dig, it is the largest municipal project in the country's history.
Boston is home to pro sports teams in all four major sports, although the New England Patriots actually play football in the southern suburb of Foxboro. The other teams are the NBA's Celtics, one of the most storied franchises in any sport; the Bruins in the NHL, and of course the cursed Red Sox.
Overall, Boston is one of the top 5 cities in the nation. History mixes well with the modern age, the transit system, the oldest in the US - works, and the restaurants and other amenities are top notch. But it is the people of Boston who seem to have a special resolve about them, perhaps a joie-de-vivre that one doesn't see in many other cities, that really gives this city it's lively energy.
