Harbor-lined cityscapes, thousands of college students, world-renowned and nationally beloved orchestras, and American Revolution battlefields are just a part of Boston. When you walk the city’s tree-lined streets, home to more historic buildings than any other American city, you’re following in the footsteps of our founding fathers.

Boston is a rich tapestry of history, culture, recreation, and a strong economy. Steeped in living history, this city is continually changing and reinventing itself. World-class education at 20 area colleges creates a well-educated workforce sought after by America’s leading corporations. Boston is also home to many innovative hospitals.

The city boasts world-class museums, orchestras, theaters, and opera and ballet companies. Thousands root for their award-winning sports teams. With miles of shoreline and islands dotting a deep bay, the Paul Revere City is a recreation haven with rowing, biking, swimming, sailing, and golfing just a few of the many options.
