The region is thought to have been so named by Capt.  city was founded in 1630, 10 years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Today, the Boston area, with more than 3 million residents, is a thriving metropolis of medicine, high-tech, finance, and education, with 50 colleges and universities. But it has not forgotten its past.

Much of this sea-faring city was created by extensive landfill operations that began in the early 1700s and continued into the 20th century. Due to the harbor city's small geographic size, visitors can easily get from one part of town to another on foot. In fact, Boston is often called "America's walking city." But, if you prefer to ride, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) is "a body politic and corporate, and a political subdivision" of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts [1] formed in 1964 to finance and operate most bus, subway, commuter rail and ferry systems in the greater  (MBTA MBTA Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority

) provides excellent service to just about anywhere in the city. The "T" connects all major downtown points of interest as well as areas beyond the city's central district.

From historical haunts, walking trails, and renowned museums to fabulous fall foliage and harbor excursions, Boston has something for everyone. Tours by foot, trolley, bike, bus, or ship are available. No matter how you get around, though, make sure to experience everything Boston has to offer.

The National Park Service offers free guided tours of the Freedom Trail, but visitors also can rent an audio guide at the Visitor Information Center on Boston Common. The Trail itself is always open for walking, but individual sites have varying operating times and some charge admission. Depending on how distracted you get along the way, the Trail usually requires four hours of walking time. But there is no better way to experience Boston.

One stop on the Trail, Faneuil Hall, has been the heart of Boston for 255 years. Faneuil Hall, built by and named for Boston's wealthiest merchant, and nearby Quincy Market, was home to merchants, fishermen, and meat and produce sellers, and it provided a platform for Boston's most famous speakers. This is where Samuel Adams rallied the city's citizens around the cause of independence from Great Britain and where George Washington toasted the nation on its first birthday. Once the site of many spirited public debates, the building now houses a marketplace of many unusual shops and eclectic eateries. Don't miss the Bull Market Pushcarts, which are located under the north and south canopies in the Quincy Market building. The ever-changing pushcarts showcase the colorful wares of more than 100 New England artisans and entrepreneurs, each hand-picked for uniqueness.

Along the Trail, you will visit the Boston Tea Party Boston Tea Party, 1773. In the contest between British Parliament and the American colonists before the Revolution, Parliament, when repealing the Townshend Acts, had retained the tea tax, partly as a symbol of its right to tax the colonies, partly to aid the  Ship and Museum (www.bostonteapartyship.com). Here, you can board a replica of one of three original Boston Tea Party ships, participate in a Revolution re-enactment presentation by throwing tea chests overboard, engage in discussions with colonial-clad guides, or sip tax-free tea.

Located in historic Constitution Plaza, the U.S.S. Constitution Museum (www.ussconstitutionmuseum.org) brings to life the story of the oldest commissioned warship warship, any ship built or armed for naval combat. The forerunners of the modern warship were the men-of-war of the 18th and early 19th cent., such as the ship of the line, frigate, corvette, sloop of war (see sloop), brig, and cutter.  in the U.S. Navy, "Old Ironsides."

The Finer Things: Boston Art & Museums

Boston boasts several world-renowned museums. Tops on your list should be the John F. Kennedy Library The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum is the presidential library and museum of the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy. It is located on Dorchester's Columbia Point in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and was designed by the architect I.M. Pei.  and Museum (www.jfklibrary.org), New England's only presidential library. Here, you can step back into the early 1960s and experience first hand the life and legacy of President Kennedy. Period settings from the White House and 25 multimedia exhibits create a stirring account of his 1,000 days in office. This year, to mark the 50th wedding anniversary of the marriage of President and Mrs. Kennedy, the museum has opened a special exhibit. The national memorial to President Kennedy sits on a 10-acre waterfront site on Columbia Point and offers panoramic views of Boston's skyline and Harbor Islands.

Another don't-miss museum is the Museum of Fine Arts Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, chartered and incorporated (1870) after a decision by the Boston Athenaeum, Harvard, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to pool their collections of art objects and house them in adequate public galleries.  (www.mfa.org), affectionately called the "MFA" by art aficionados. This art museum, one of the best in the world, offers a varied collection rich in Impressionist artists, including Monet and Renoir. Located in the Fenway, the MFA is recognized for the quality and scope of its encyclopedic en·cy·clo·pe·dic

2. Embracing many subjects; comprehensive: "an ignorance almost as encyclopedic as his erudition" 
 collection, which includes American, European, Asian, contemporary, ancient, and textile art, as well as prints, drawings, photographs, and musical instruments.

Nearby is the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum or Fenway Court is a museum in Boston, Massachusetts with a collection of over 2,500 works of European, Asian and American art, including paintings, sculpture, tapestries, and decorative arts.  (www.gardnermuseum.org), showcasing the personal collection of one of Boston's wealthiest women. Located in a Venetian palace built in 1903, the museum was designed around a gorgeous interior flowering courtyard and houses more than 2,500 art objects, including works by Rembrandt, Botticelli, Raphael, and Matisse.

Playing Around in Beantown

Boston isn't all history--there also is a lot of fun to be had in Beantown.

For example, the New England Aquarium's (www.neaq.org) colorful and educational exhibits feature more than 8,000 aquatic creatures. Located on Boston's Central Wharf, the aquarium's highlights include a four-story glass ocean tank that houses a coral reef display and a world-class collection of fish, sharks, and sea turtles.

Another don't-miss destination is Boston's Public Garden, a recognized national treasure and the first botanical garden in the country. The famous swan boats do not run after Labor Day, but you can still enjoy the beauty of Boston Common.

Boston is a city of trails. The Emerald Necklace Trail connects a string of beautiful parks that wind around the city, wrapping around an arboretum arboretum: see botanical garden.

, a zoo, ponds, and a public golf course. The Literary Trail brings the pages of American literature to life as visitors discover the homes, gathering places, and landscapes of America's beloved authors and poets. The Boston by Sea-Maritime Trail sets sail twice daily from the Boston Harbor. You can explore the history of the China trade and clipper ships, the Boston Tea Party, Civil War skirmishes, Native Americans, and immigrant stories. The Black Heritage Trail is a 1.6-mile walking tour that celebrates the history and contributions of Boston's African-American community. It includes the Robert Gould Shaw Robert Gould Shaw (October 10, 1837 – July 18, 1863) was the colonel in command of the all-black 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, which entered the American Civil War in 1863.  and 54th Regiment Memorial, a memorial for the North's first African-American regiment during the Civil War, and the Museum of African American History African American history is the portion of American history that specifically discusses the African American or Black American ethnic group in the United States. Most African Americans are the descendants of African slaves held in the United States from 1619 to 1865. . For the architecturally minded, the GeoTrail takes you into the biggest construction project in American history--"The Big Dig" (www.bigdig.com). The $10.8 billion Central Artery/Tunnel, scheduled to be finished in 2004, presents a unique engineering challenge: to build a new underground highway through and under the heart of Boston's harbor and historic downtown area while keeping the existing road open during construction.

Lighthouses once densely dotted the Boston coastline. Now the few that remain are a link to Boston's history and connection to the sea. Tour the Boston Light (www.lighthouse.cc/boston)--the first lighthouse in the country--or visit the Boston Harbor Islands Boston Harbor Islands may refer to:
  • The islands of Boston Harbor
  • Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area

Tips for Travelers

* The John B. Hynes Convention Center, 900 Boylston Street, is in the heart of Boston's Back Bay area and just three miles from the airport. A "T" subway stop is located just one block away.

* Boston's rapid transit system (MBTA) is one of the most extensive in the country, connecting all sections of the city with nearby communities such as Cambridge and the North and South Shores. But the city billed as "America's walking city" is best appreciated at street level, so pack some comfortable shoes.

* Temperatures in Boston during October can range from 62 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon to 46 degrees in the evening.
