Welcome to Boston, a city with a very colorful history. From the Boston Tea Party, Salem Witches, the Red Sox and Fenway Park to Cape Cod and the Kennedys, the historical significance of this city blazes its way to your heart.

Maybe you're visiting to see all of the historical sites of the city; or maybe you're here for a little more.
