Boston is the state capital of Massachusetts. It is one of the oldest cities in the country and was founded in 1630, long before the country itself was established. The city played a large role in the American Revolution and a highlight for many visitors are the various historical sights. Many of the most important sights are part of a 2.5-mile walking route through the city known as the Freedom Trail. Traveling the Freedom Trail and visiting the sights will give you a much better understanding of the country's founding. There are a number of sports teams based in the city, and catching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park is a memorable experience. Other attractions include a number of world-class museums, shopping centers, legendary restaurants, and much more.
