Why Boston?

You will find things to do in the city: places to eat, top attractions, sport events, shopping and Boston neighborhoods.

Food and Drink: A true foodie town, Boston is best known for its baked beans. But the coastal city is loved for its seafood - from lobster rolls and New England clam chowder to steamed clams and fish and chips. The city is also known for its Boston Cream Pie and the famous Fenway Frank.

Culture: Boston invites visitors to explore America’s past and vibrant culture. Trace the Freedom Trail through the heart of the city, where colorful neighborhoods are dotted with historic sites and parks. Try the chowder at Boston’s oldest restaurant, head to the Italian-accented North End for cannoli and pizza, or snack on hot dogs in the stands at Fenway Park. Browse collections of masterpiece artwork in the city’s many museums, then get beyond the city limits on a day trip to old-fashioned villages.

Boston Sports: Sports are a major part of the city's culture, and Boston is home to several first-class teams: the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, incidentally Massachusetts is where the sport was invented), and New England Patriots.

Shopping: When it comes to shopping in Boston, Back Bay’s Newbury Street is the trendiest destination. Rain or shine, its sidewalks are filled with throngs of shoppers from all over the world. Though this stretch may be the most popular, Boston has plenty of other great places to shop.

Boston Neighborhoods: Boston's diverse neighborhoods serve as a political and cultural organizing mechanism. The City of Boston's Office of Neighborhood Services has designated 23 Neighborhoods in the city.
