New England – Boston

Boston is a mixture of a European city worth seeing, lively history and modern America. In addition, the city is manageable and, as one of the attractions in the USA, is ideal for exploring on foot.

Boston can also be described as the secret capital of New England. The port, commercial and industrial city is located at the mouth of the Charles River. Many banks and insurance companies are also located here. In addition, Boston is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop. Boston was founded in 1630 by a group of settlers led by J. Winthrop. Boston is a world-renowned cultural and educational center with a lot of European flair. It is the most Irish city in the USA and you can see that not only on St. Patrick’s Day.

With Logan International Airport, Boston has the largest airport in the New England states, which is served directly by the major European airlines. A taxi from the airport to the city costs around $20. But there are also cheaper connections by bus and subway.

The name Boston is strongly associated with the Boston Celtics, the famous basketball team. They play in the Fleet Center (easy to reach by the Green Line). Tickets are always available on the black market. Then there are the Boston Red Sox, who are an institution for those interested in sports. The most important newspaper in Boston and one of the most important in the USA is the Boston Globe. Of course, it offers the most detailed information about Boston’s cultural life.

In addition to a city tour along the Freedom Trail, you should definitely visit the Beacon Hill district. These 18th- and 19th-century homes were home to Boston’s wealthy citizens. The Back Bay with its many boutiques and galleries invites you to go on an afternoon shopping spree. The cultural center of the city is Midtown. There are a large number of theatres here that host operas and musicals or ballet performances.
