The Historic and Bustling Hub of New England
Boston has the charm, history, and quaint architecture of a colonial village with the bustle and industry of a major capital city. It’s a hub of higher education, home to more than 70 universities, including Harvard and MIT across the river in Cambridge. One of the best ways to get acquainted with Boston is a self-guided tour of the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile path that connects the most important sites of the American Revolution, including Paul Revere’s House and the Boston Common (the oldest public park in America). Finish your tour in the North End, Boston’s Little Italy, brimming with cobblestone streets, hole-in-the-wall taverns, and Italian trattorias.

Forecasting Your Boston Vacation
Boston experiences all four seasons fully. Humid and rainy summers are bookended by generally mild spring and fall seasons. Winters are snowy and wet, thanks to the city’s bayside location. Occasionally, particularly in the cooler months, the city is hit with a nor’easter—a long, windy rainstorm that moves up the Atlantic seaboard.
