Of course, there are people in Boston that are completely disinterested in sports. Luckily for them, this cultural hotspot of the Northeast rings with activity all year long.

As the home to the first salvos of the American Revolution – including the famed “shot heard ‘round the world” – Boston’s historic venues evoke the heroes of the past. From the Lexington and Concord battlefields to the Paul Revere House Museum and the Bunker Hill Monument, history buffs will have the time of their lives. Visit the USS Constitution, the renowned “Old Ironsides” of the War of 1812. Although it serves for training purposes only, this famous vessel, berthed at the National Park Service’s Charleston Navy Yard, is still an active U.S. Navy ship.
If history’s not your cup of tea – oh yeah, don’t forget the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum – then perhaps you’d like to take in the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum, the Museum of Science, or maybe the New England Aquarium.

Or, if you prefer fine art in motion, Boston’s theatre district boasts all manner of shows on the edge of Broadway in ornate halls both new and old. Or, if you want to laugh, Boston’s Comedy Connection in Faneuil Hall is one of the country’s most highly successful comedy clubs, with multiple shows on weekend nights that send patrons out into the streets laughing uncontrollably.

And food! Those people who come to Boston and ignore the North End have no idea what they are missing. Some of the most talented Italian chefs in America work in this classic corner of the city, where during the summer the populace turns out to celebrate…well, just to celebrate, really.

And if you’re lucky enough to approach by sea, you’ll experience one of the most delightful port entryways in the country, surrounded by the more than 30 islands of Boston Harbor. Truly, Boston has what you are looking for, from outdoor farmers’ markets to high fashion shopping districts to world championship sports teams.
