Boston
Boston is considered to be the cradle of the North American nation and known
to be one of the oldest and wealthiest cities in the US. This cosmopolitan
city, on America’s East coast, is especially interesting for culture vultures
as it offers a modern and at the same time old-English atmosphere. Boston
is characterised by a mixture of traditional English architecture and
its modern mirrored skyscrapers. You will also find green parks for relaxation.
Boston also has a great number of students, studying at Harvard University
and at other various colleges and universities around the town. It has a
lively cultural scene with some very interesting museums and galleries.
The Atlantic coast and the metropolis of New York are ideal for weekend
excursions as they are within a comfortable distance.
