Living in Boston
Boston and Cambridge are two of the most beautiful, historic cities in the country. A walk through the streets of these neighboring cities is a veritable sightseeing tour with all sorts of cultural attractions to enjoy.
Start your journey in Harvard Square, one of the world's great crossroads, and make your way to Central Square, home to every imaginable ethnic cuisine. Walk the Freedom Trail and Beacon Hill's cobblestone lanes to see how Boston looked during the Revolutionary War, or explore Newbury Street's chic shops and the city's bustling downtown.
What you'll find is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character and charm. Of course, Boston is also home to some of the country's most famous institutions, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Symphony, and the Museum of Science.
And if you want to get away, the beaches of Cape Cod, the quiet solitude of Maine, the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont, and many charming New England coastal towns are all within easy reach.
A night of cool jazz or hot funk? The symphony or the Red Sox? A homebrew or an herbal tea?
From four-star bistros to neighborhood restaurants, American Repertory Theater to Fenway Park, Boston Pops to a hole-in-the-wall nightclub—whatever your pleasure, you'll find it in Boston.
A cosmopolitan and sophisticated city renowned for its vibrant nightlife, Boston is also a university town with great bars and inexpensive places to eat. With so much going on, the only challenge you'll have is deciding what you want to do.
