In one day you can visit artistic masterpieces from ancient times, cruise the harbor in search of marine life or skyline views, shop for the latest fashions, and lose your voice cheering a Boston team victory. Boston's multitude of universities put it on the cutting edge of research and technology, while its elegant mansions and historic sites remind you of its past glory. In this compact city, you're never far from your next discovery-Boston is famous for their passion for the Red Sox, Paul Reverse to Cheers, clam "chowdah,", and the 'T'-Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority which allows Boston to be navigated easily through its trolleys, subways, elevated trains and conventional buses. Hop on the Freedom Trail, a well- preserved pedestrian path that weaves in and out of historic neighborhoods, from the lively Boston Common and Public Garden to the gold-domed State House and Fenway Park. Between Landmarks, you can shop the fabulous stores on Newbury Street have a delicious authentic Italian meal in the North End or browse the antique shops and distinctive red-bricks buildings of Beacon Hill. The more culturally inclined will not want to miss the city's world-class museums, theater and music venues. Part history lesson, part modern metropolis, the Hub offers attractions to suit every taste and interest.
