More about Boston
Located on the American east coast, Boston is the capital of the state of Massachusetts. Thanks to its compact design, Boston is a great city to explore on foot, unlike many other American cities. The city is also home to two of the most prestigious universities in the US: Harvard and MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology). This is reflected in the city population, which is composed of a large number of students. Boston is one of the oldest and richest cities in the United States with an economy that revolves around financial services, biotechnology, medicine, insurance, education, and high-tech manufacturing and research.
