As the capital of Massachusetts, Boston is small in size, but huge in history. You can walk the entire city within an hour, and see several different neighborhoods. The revitalized Innovation District seaport area thrives with upscale restaurants and fantastic views. The North End is home to Italian restaurants and beloved pastry shops, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway is a beautiful part with a carousel, dancing fountains, and food trucks.

As for historical sites, you can visit Boston Harbor and the Tea Party Museum to see reenactments, and Paul Revere’s home still stands in the North End. You can even visit and dine in old pubs where American Revolutionary participants gathered to plan their revolt against the British.

Like shopping? Head to Newbury Street and Copley Square for art galleries, boutiques, and big brand names. Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts houses an incredible collection of painting, photography, and sculpture. For an amazing view of the city, head to the observation deck at the Top of the Hub.
