Boston Tours, Tourist Attractions, Hotel Accommodation
Boston is the capital of Massachusetts. It is the largest city in New England. Founded in 1630, Boston is one of the oldest and most culturally significant cities in the United States.
The City of Boston hosts over 12 million visitors a year from the US and around the globe. This vibrant, thriving city is renowned for its cultural facilities, world-class educational institutions and champion sports franchises. Tourism is one of New England's largest industries and Boston has excellent tours and world class accommodation waiting to accommodate and entertain you as few other cities can.
Boston played a prominent role in the American Revolution and several historic sites relating to that period are preserved as major tourist attractions and part of the Boston National Historical Park. Many are found along the Freedom Trail, which is marked by a red line or bricks embedded in the ground.
Along with the Freedom Trail, there are two other walking tours: Harbor Walk, which is designed to follow the entire shore of Boston Harbor, and the Black Heritage Trail. A popular guided tour is the Boston Duck Tour, which uses World War II-era duck boats. The outer suburbs of Boston, which tend to be forested, have vibrantly colored foliage every autumn that attracts many tourists.
Summers are typically warm and humid, while winters are cold, windy and snowy, therefore most tours are seasonal and operate from March through to November
