City - Boston

Boston is the iconic capital and largest city of Massachusetts, known for its historical significance, top-notch culinary scene, and beautiful Bayfront views. Nestled on Massachusetts Bay, Boston is home to numerous universities including Harvard University, Boston College, Northeastern University, the University of Massachusetts-Boston, the Berklee College of Music, and the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. In fact, there are 54 colleges and universities in the Boston area, dating all the way back to 1636 when Harvard was established.

Boston played a crucial role in the American Revolution, being the site of major events like the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. This city is filled with historic sites, landmarks, and architecture like the Boston Common, the first park in the country, dating back to 1624. Locals frequent Freedom Trail for its walking park that begins at the park and leads past several historic sites, including Paul Revere’s House and Faneuil Hall.
