General information

Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and the state’s largest city – serving as the gateway to New England. Located on Massachusetts Bay at the mouths of the Charles and Mystic Rivers, Boston is also the nearest major US seaport to Europe.

Boston played a crucial role in the birth of the American nation – from the arrival of a handful of pilgrims to the Revolutionary War to the Civil Rights debates. The city provides a rich opportunity to discover the events and people responsible for the creation of the United States – commemorated in a wealth of emblematic and evocative colonial-era sights. Rising alongside these historic landmarks are bold skyscrapers, reflecting the city’s modern commercial success.
