Why Go: Historic sites from the time of the Revolutionary War; modern skyscrapers; a leading medical, high-tech, and financial center; museums and performance arts; over 40 institutions of higher learning; and great shopping. Boston also has a long list of this country’s firsts; the first publicly supported library, public school, subway system, and the citywide First Night (New Year’s Eve) celebration to name a few. One of the oldest cities in the U.S., Boston thrives on diversity and being first as much as possible.
Everywhere you go in Boston there’s history. Colonial buildings downtown, brownstones in Back Bay and Beacon Hill, 19th-century mansions, and historic buildings adapted for reuse to house businesses and shops. To help you see the attractions there are walking tours, trolley tours, Duck tours, and skywalk views of the city.
You can’t help but be surprised at how much this compact city has to offer visitors. On the high end, Boston is nearly as expensive as New York, but you can explore the city and dine on a student’s budget.
