Long known for its "old world" charm, Boston has come a long way towards staking its claim in the 21st century. With the recent completion of the "Big Dig," which buried Boston's vast network of highways underground, Boston has hit the new century running. With a collection of parks set to take the place of the ungainly elevated highways, the years to come promise to see Boston only get more beautiful.

Boston has a tradition unlike any other city in America. It was here in 1773, when America was still a colony of the British Empire, that residents, angered over a heavy tax on tea imposed by King George III, launched a bold nighttime in which they dumped 342 chests of English tea into the Boston Harbor. The "Boston Tea Party," as the raid was called, was the first major salvo into what would become the American Revolution. But while proud of its history, Boston has adjusted well to modernity.

In 2004, Boston finally completed its decades long "Big Dig" project. The stunning Leonard P. Zakim Bridge, which with a width of 180 feet is the widest cable stayed bridge in the world, is the crowning achievement in the single most expensive feat of civil engineering in human history. The completion of the project has made a city already laced with stunning parks and colonial era architecture, even more beautiful.

But despite its traditions and its idyllic façade, Boston has more than its fair share of excitement. With more than 20 universities, including world famous Harvard University, and over 100,000 students, Boston is the quintessential college town. From its outstanding live music venues to the bass bumping clubs of Lansdowne Street, Boston pulses with the energy of youth.

Essayist Oliver Wendall Holmes once described Boston as the "hub of the solar system", and the Hub it is! This beautiful city on the bay is richly endowed with landmarks of historical significance and unlimited cultural and entertainment possibilities. Boston is a city of fascinating narrow streets and byways that invite exploration on foot.

The Freedom Trail (also known as the Red Line you see running along Boston's sidewalks) winds through a path of 16 of the historically significant sites associated with the beginnings of our Republic. The tour begins at the meadowlands of Boston Common and ends at the harbor in Charlestown Navy Yard, winding along the way for 2.5 miles through downtown Boston and the attractive North End. Sites along the trail include Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, and Copp's Hill Burying Ground.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts house some of the world's most famous works by such greats as Singer Sargent, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Botticelli as well as a stunning three story garden atrium. Meanwhile, Fenway Park, one of the most vaunted in baseball, is home to the no longer cursed Red Sox, while football's Superbowl Champion Patriots reign supreme in Foxboro.

Harvard Square boasts bookstores, cafe chess players, street musicians and some of the most eclectic shopping in Boston. Harvard Square is where you might sit down for an afternoon with a cappucino and a thick novel, or where you might just walk around and let the crowds entertain you. There's no shortage of sights in this small, entertaining enclosed space.
