With so many ties to the beginnings of America’s Independence from Great Britain, Boston is a city rich in US history. Many important documents, including the original constitution, are stored in the city’s museums and a number of landmark milestones in the development of the United States took place in Boston. Boston has a lot to offer to history buff who will enjoy visiting The Boston Tea Party and The Boston Massacre sites. For everyone else, there are sports events, theatres, opera houses, universities, shopping districts and nightlife to spare. Boston is also a great place to set sail to the many scenic islands located right outside its harbor. Take a boat ride and enjoy the fresh sea air during those warm summer months.
