Welcome to
Boston
United States
Boston is America's most historically layered city — a compact, walkable metropolis where the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail connects sixteen revolutionary-era sites through neighbourhoods that have been continuously inhabited since 1630. Harvard and MIT sit just across the Charles River in Cambridge, giving the city an intellectual energy that has shaped American science, politics, and literature for four centuries. Boston's food culture is rooted in the sea: the clam chowder of Legal Sea Foods, the lobster rolls of the North End wharves, and the cannoli of Hanover Street's Italian bakeries are as much a part of the city's identity as Fenway Park and the Red Sox.
