Touring Boston

Boston attracts more than 12 million visitors annually from around the world. It is the social and commercial hub of New England.  Tourists will find abundant shopping, dining, sight-seeing, and family fun during each stay.

Historians will want to take a stroll on Freedom Trail, a red line on the sidewalk that leads visitors on a 2.5-mile tour of many sites from the American Revolution.  It begins at Boston Common, the oldest public park in the nation, and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument.

The Paul Revere House is another great historic site to learn about the American Revolution.  It's the place where Paul Revere left out on his mission to warn his fellow patriots that "the British are coming" in 1775.  Revere was a silversmith, and tourists get to see some of his original work as well.

Boston also offers great shopping, dining, nightlife and even boat tours.  More information about Boston, Massachusetts can be found at the city's official Web site. (http://www.cityofboston.gov)
