 Oliver Wendell Holmes called it "The Hub of the Universe." It has also been deemed "The Athens of America." To many it is known as "Beantown." Whatever name you choose, Boston is a unique city that has played a major role in the American experience.
Boston is a city of history, of neighborhoods, of education. Our nation's oldest major city, Boston is a city of industry and finance, and a city of firsts. Boston is the city where we "pahk the caah" and love our "chowdah."
World famous for its medical centers, Boston is also a city of seasons,
where every spring is a time of hope eternal for the beloved Red Sox, until
reality sets in with the chill of autumn and the call becomes "wait until
next year."
The streets of this old city are winding and narrow, and many of them are
one-way, which adds to the charm of the city. It also makes driving in
Boston a memorable experience. If you miss a turn and plan to circle the
block to get back, you may see why it is rumored that the expression "You
can't get there from here" originated in Boston. The parallel block you
are expecting to find may not exist. Add the Big Dig project to the mix
and mastering the roads of "The Hub." can be a feat of distinction. Boston
has the oldest subway and bus system in America, the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay
Transit Authority). A ride on the MBTA or to the locals "The T," is an
adventure visitors to Boston should try. There is also numerous taxi and
limousine services as well as several bus tours and duck tours.
To get a sense of the history and the neighborhoods of Boston, follow the
red line on the sidewalk of the Freedom Trail. Starting at the Boston
Common Visitor Center on Tremont Street, the 2.5 mile walking path takes you
on a journey back to the birthplace of the American Revolution. The trail
connects 16 historical sites winding through Beacon Hill, The North End and
Charlestown. Able-bodied people of all ages can easily do the walk on their
own, or take a guided tour hosted by costumed characters like James Otis or
Abigail Adams. You can also enjoy the Freedom Trail on a trolley tour or
travel between the landmarks on the MBTA.
