For Visitors
Welcome to Boston!
Founded in 1630, Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the United States’ most historic cities. Located at a deep harbor, the city has a population of nearly 650,000 living in 47.8 square miles. Boston is home to several national sports teams, numerous academic institutions and world-renowned arts institutions. It is notorious for its aggressive drivers, jumbled maze of streets and expensive cost of living, but with a little help from the locals, we think that you will find it a manageable and charming city.
