Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Make sure you explore some of Boston’s fine museums, visit the USS Constitution (launched in 1797 and the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat) and old neighbourhoods. But you can’t claim to have experienced real Boston culture unless you’ve watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers!
