Boston's Diverse Communities
Boston's reputation as the birthplace of freedom has made it a place where diverse communities flourish. People of all races, nationalities, religions, backgrounds and lifestyles are at home here, and we boast a wide variety of community centers and organizations to
promote diversity.

Public Transportation
Boston is one of the few cities in the world where public transportation is so completely comprehensive. Between the subway, or T as locals call it, buses, ferries and commuter rail lines, it's easy to get anywhere you need to go inside or outside of the city even without a car. But perhaps best of all is Boston's manageable size. Unlike many major metropolitan areas, in Boston, most locations are within walking distance of each other. This allows Bostonians to easily explore the city, exercise, and enjoy scenic landmarks like the Boston Public Gardens.

History
Being at the heart of the American Revolution, Boston is home to many historical sites, many of which are free to the public and easily discovered by walking the city's famed Freedom Trail. Boston and its surrounding suburbs were sites of the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere's famous ride, and the Battle of Bunker Hill, to name a few.

Sports
Is there a better city in the world for sports? In Boston you'll find historic Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox and one of the oldest ball parks in America. Join Red Sox Nation and become part of a sports tradition spanning three centuries! There's no fan like a Red Sox fan, as you'll quickly learn. Visit the Garden to see the Celtics or Bruins, or head to nearby Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to catch a New England Patriots or New England Revolution home game.

Museums
Boston is also home to a number of museums (Art, Science, Natural History and more), that cover a huge variety of styles and eras. At the Museum of Fine Arts, you'll see cultural treasures and historic icons from around the world and across the ages including Ancient Egyptian, Classical and Asian art, as well as world-renowned collections of paintings, sculptures and decorative arts. You'll be richly rewarded for visiting the Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, the Isabella Stuart Gardener Museum, or the Harvard Museum of Natural History, all easily accessible via the T.

Relaxation, Recreation, and Entertainment
There are countless ways to keep yourself entertained in Boston, whether you enjoy shopping, theatre going, eating at world class restaurants, sporting events, comedy, special events like First Night or the 4th of July with the Boston Pops, or a classic Boston pub crawl. Close by, you'll find beautiful Cape Cod beaches, historic Salem, MA, hiking, swimming, and a whole lot more.
