Boston is the capital of and largest city in Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It is regarded as the unofficial “Capital of New England” for its economic and cultural impact on the entire region. Since there is an abundance of accessible tours and things to do, choosing the best is a challenge. The city of Boston may be not be the biggest metropolis, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in history.
One of the oldest cities in the United States, the city provided the backdrop for several key events in the American Revolution – think Tea Party and Bunker Hill. Today the city is well known for its universities, with Harvard University, MIT and Tufts University making up the aptly named Brainpower Triangle, so it’s hardly surprising there are so many great museums in the area. But it’s not just museums – Boston is quite the draw for sports fans as well, with many considering a visit to Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, nothing short of a pilgrimage.
Boston’s public transportation system is mostly accessible & wheelchair friendly. The subways and bus system serve all points in Boston as well as Boston Logan International Airport.
