Visit Boston

Boston is a wonderful blend of stylish sophistication and historic New England charm. You can easily uncover the city’s past while enjoying its distinctively modern edge.

Summer is a great time to explore “America’s Walking City.” Stroll the city’s sidewalks, wander its abundance of green parks or just people-watch at one of the many outdoor cafes. A walk through the Public Garden is a delight.

Boston's calendar is brimming with exceptional musical and theatrical productions and performances, exhibitions, tours and festivals. For sports fans, catching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park is a must.

There’s history to be enjoyed, along with pocket-parks, public squares and the Arnold Arboretum. Explore the hidden gardens of Beacon Hill, or the inner courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Boston Harbor offers a multitude of activities, from harbor cruises to romantic sails at sunset, or just people-watching along the new HarborWalk.

Sample award-winning cuisine at four-star restaurants or neighborhood bistros. Attend one of many ethnic festivals, or take a culinary tour of Boston’s Little Italy or Jewish Brookline.

The country’s first public library, with more than 6 million volumes, is also a museum masterpiece filled with paintings and sculptures. For a unique experience, enter the vividly colored Mapparium, a stunning 30-foot stained-glass globe.

The shops and galleries are inviting whether you’re a serious shopper, a bargain hunter or a window browser. You can stroll in glass-enclosed arcades, open-air marketplaces and independent brownstone boutiques.
