 Boston-The Walking City Now you're in Boston, New England's biggest city. But it's accessible -- most parts can be explored on foot. Everyone knows something about this cosmopolitan city. The Boston Tea Party, Harvard, "Cheers". But there's far more. Boston feels very European, and takes great pride in its history, culture, picturesque cobbled streets and brownstone buildings. It offers art, museums, theater, and music, music, music. It's perhaps the most musical city in the country, home to the world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops. If you're there between July and September you can see some big names from the rock world performing in the Haborlights Music Festival. For more information on where to stay, what to see, where to dine, and what to do - when visting Boston - contact the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau http://www.bostonusa.com . There's so much to do, you have to stay over. Or take to the hills (The Berkshires, western Massachusetts). For outdoor music from the Boston Symphony, visit the summer Tanglewood Festival. There's another big summer music festival at the Tweeter Center for the Performing Arts, 25 miles southwest of Boston. Discover spectacular beaches and dunes; Revolutionary battlefields; magnificent art museums beyond Boston, and of course, the most delicious seafood you've ever tasted.
