In the northeastern area of the United States that is called New England, Boston is the largest city. As one of the oldest cities in the country, Boston is both the capital of Massachusetts and the center of a metropolitan area home to between four and eight million people, depending on whether or not you count the millions who commute into Boston during the work week. Boston is about 200 miles northeast of New York City. If your travels require driving into or around Boston, you can always use VroomVroomVroom to find a cheap rate on a car rental! The most famous event in the city is held every April – the Boston Marathon, the oldest annual marathon in the world. The 26.2 mile run takes place on Patriots' Day, along with a Major League Baseball game hosted by the Boston Red Sox, that also starts in the morning.

Puritans from England colonized Boston in 1630 on the Shawmut Peninsula, though archaeologists say the peninsula was home to natives over 6000 years prior to the English arrivals. The Puritans originally called their town Trimountaine, but it was soon renamed after the Boston of the English county Lincolnshire. The colonists soon created Boston Latin School, America's first public school, and Roxbury Latin School, which has continually provided education for over 360 years!

Boston was the second-largest town (behind Philadelphia) in Britain's American colonies – and one of the largest in the British Empire – when the American Revolution was fought from 1775 to 1783. Boston was central to several events of the war, including the Boston Massacre, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Boston Tea Party, Battle of Bunker Hill, the Siege of Boston, and Paul Revere's midnight ride. If you're in Boston, your rented car will make visiting any or all of these historic sites easy and fun! By the time the United States became an independent nation, Boston was a major shipping port and a center for the new country's trade, manufacturing and engineering achievements. For example, the first subway system in the country opened in Boston in 1897. And its numerous universities and colleges make the city a hub of higher education, as well as medical research and treatment.

Boston is a city where old meets new, the ghosts of American's past shake the hands of the contemporary artist, the educated and the talented.

When the rest of the western world was busy modernizing and contemporizing, Boston was nurturing its history; holding onto its past and accomplishments, its pulse that beats with ancient victory.

City skyscrapers are juxtaposed against Faneuil Hall, built by John Smibert in 1762! The grandeur of the Massachusetts State House stands proud and strong even though it was built in 1795 (pictured right).

19^th Century majesty still breathes through restored hallways, red bricks tower heavenward and old oaks whisper secrets into the breeze. Boston never abandoned its heritage, it was celebrated.

Buried in the ground and lining the streets is the map to the past, the Freedom Trail follows the city's greatest sites and events, a walking time line if you please (takes a good couple of hours).
