Boston is a city steeped in culture and heritage. As “America’s Walking City”, its mix of old world charm and urban sophistication have made it a dynamic destination for visitors around the world.  Boston’s role in shaping American history is visible on almost every street corner and is perhaps best exemplified by The Freedom Trail, a walking tour through its historic streets that encompasses 16 of the most treasured sites in American history.

Often called the “Athens of America”, Greater Boston’s renowned medical and educational institutions, its world champion sports teams, and its internationally acclaimed cultural and entertainment offerings combine to make Boston a world-class city.
