That past makes Boston a more interesting place to visit than some other large cities. From the Old State House, to the rows of brownstones, to the famous Boston Commons, the city makes it easy to connect with colonial and early American history.
Like any vibrant city, Boston is more than its history. Active shopping and financial districts, ethnic neighborhoods, good restaurants and leading universities provide a modern pulse. A good subway system and affordable hotels complete the package and make Boston a good tourist destination.
