Boston is the city of the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walk that links 16 historic sites from the American Revolution. It is home to Fenway Park, the Boston Marathon and America's oldest public park. Its neighborhoods range from gas-lit Beacon Hill to the Italian cafes of the North End.
Boston Common was set aside in 1634 and is America's oldest park. British Redcoats began an eight-year encampment there in 1768. In 1837 the city created the Public Garden, the first public botanical garden in America. Boston mixes students, young professionals, longtime families and newcomers in walkable neighborhoods that each feel like a small town. Daily life runs on brick sidewalks, corner cafes, parks and the T.
