For a city of only 4.7 million people, Boston has everything - from history to world-class educational institutions and successful sports teams. And, of course, the food!

Although commonly known nationally as Bean Town, most Bostonians don't appreciate the moniker, as there is so much more to Boston than just baked beans.

Perched on the Charles River mouth on a beautiful stretch of New England coastline, Boston is home to some of the greatest fishing and sailing in the country.

The skyline is instantly recognizable as the beautiful historic architecture rubs shoulders with 21st-century buildings. The juxtapositions of old and new are striking. Visitors are enchanted by the eclectic mix of gothic churches next to glass skyscrapers.

In addition, there are cobbled streets, tree-lined avenues, and the bustling modern harbor. Boston is smaller than many other American cities, so it is easier to appreciate the architecture up close. The maze of winding streets can be delightful or dizzying, depending on where you are trying to get to. Still, they're certainly picturesque. 

Boston's premier landmark, the Old State House, is the city's oldest surviving public building. The Declaration of Independence was read from its balcony in 1776. 

You can walk the Freedom Trail and follow the red brick markers around the city, stopping at 16 landmarks representing key points in Boston's history and the early history of the United States in just 2.5 miles.
