Famous for everything from the Red Sox and Paul Revere to Cheers and clam *chowdah*, Boston is a popular destination for so many reasons. Part history lesson, part modern metropolis, the Hub offers attractions to suit every taste and interest. Plus, it's incredibly easy to get around, either on foot or by the user-friendly public transportation system, called the T. Between landmarks, you can shop the fabulous stores on Newbury Street, have a delicious authentic Italian meal in the North End or browse the antique shops of Beacon Hill. The more culturally inclined will not want to miss the city's world-class museums, theater and music venues. Family-friendly to the core, Boston also boasts a renowned aquarium, children's museum and science museum, making it a great getaway for all!
