BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - The city of Boston, founded in 1630 and located on beautiful Boston Harbor, still retains much of its old-world charm, where cobblestone streets and 18th century brick buildings provide a dramatic contrast to contemporary glass-walled skyscrapers. Today, Boston is a thriving international center for medicine, high technology, finance and education, with more than 60 colleges and universities, including Harvard University. As one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, Boston is a cosmopolitan, culturally diverse city that hosts more than 11 million visitors each year.
