Why Visit Boston

The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston is rife with historical sites of interest, such as the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution, and Paul Revere’s House. Boston travel goes beyond history, too—namely its flourishing neighborhoods, trendy shops, diverse culinary hotspots, and thriving sports scene.

When to Visit Boston

There’s no wrong time to visit Boston, but there are more crowded times. In summer, you'll face more tourists and steeper hotel rates. In fall, you’ll contend with students returning to this college-centric city. Weekends around graduation are pricey as well. If you can stand the cold, winter travel offers big savings.

Boston Weather
