Boston, USA

 

Boston is one of those cities that encompasses everything across the board with nary a lack of things to do in the bustling city. Often referred to as the "cradle of liberty" Boston Massachusetts is characterized by a combination of skyscrapers, beautifully manicured parks, early-American churches, laid-back college campuses, a variety of residential neighborhoods and lots of inner-city activity. Recently landscaped and re-groomed, Boston Massachusetts is putting its best face forward keeping in tune with the city's vibrant past while moving forward with modern growth for the best of both worlds. The best time to visit the city is in spring or early fall when the days are warm but not too hot and the nights are cool yet not too cold. Summer can be blistering in Boston and winter is cold and snowy...
