Top Reasons to Go

Beautiful Gardens: Mount Auburn Cemetery has been called one of the most beautiful and historic landscapes in America - 175 acres of rolling hills, ponds, meadows, and woodlands.

Amazing Museums The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Fogg Museum at Harvard, and the Museum of Fine Arts are among the finest arts institutions in America.

Sports: Bostonians might be wild about ice hockey and basketball, but it's baseball and the beloved Red Sox that bring the town to a complete standstill.

Shopping: Newbury Street is Boston's version of New York's Fifth Avenue. The entire street is a shopper's paradise, from high-end names such as Brooks Brothers to tiny specialty boutiques.

Great Dining: Boston has gone from being a dreary prime-rib-and-popover town to one with a dining scene on a par with San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. Chefs are now a topic of debate, and dining in the North End is a ritual.
