About Boston
Known as America's Walking City, Boston blends Revolutionary history with distinct charm across 23 neighborhoods. Almost completely surrounded by water—including the Atlantic Ocean and the Charles River—the city features green spaces like Boston Common, where human-powered Swan Boats operate from April through September. Travelers can explore landmarks along the red-brick Freedom Trail, visit Fenway Park, and savor fresh seafood or authentic Italian cuisine in the North End.
When to go
Boston is at its best for work, history, seafood and walkable neighbourhoods.
Spring and autumn bring mild temperatures averaging 50–60°F along with vibrant blooms or colorful fall foliage, making them ideal for outdoor events like the April Boston Marathon and October's Head of the Charles Regatta. Visiting from June to August offers warm weather in the 70s to mid-80s°F that is perfect for walking the Freedom Trail and harbor sailing, though larger crowds mean you should book activities in advance. For lower costs and fewer crowds, travel from December to February when freezing winter temperatures are offset by cozy indoor dining, the Boston Wine & Food Festival, and festive shopping at the Holiday Market at Snowport in Seaport.
