Boston



Introduction

An invitation to shop, dine and explore! Boston (aka “Beantown” or “The Hub”) is a very historical city in the northeast of US where the US revolutionary war of Independence was begun. Many of the Constitutional signatories were Bostonians and this is reflected in the citys keen appreciation of history. On a contemporary note, Boston is home to some of the finest museums, universities and hospitals in the world. Add a good dose of world class shopping and tremendous nightlife and you have a city that must be visited. While Boston boasts all of the amenities offered by other large cities in the US, the people of Boston are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality, and the city is easily walk-able.
