Cheap Flights to Boston (BOS)

Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. It is the literary epicenter of the nation, and is known as the Athens of America and the intellectual capital of the US because the city has been the workplace of some of the most eminent authors like Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne. The world-renowned universities, the Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), are also situated here. Boston also deserves the distinction that it stands between the Colonial Era and Revolutionary War, and has to its credit seventeen historical sites that are together connected by a 2.5 mile long stretch called Freedom Trail to form the numero uno attraction in the city.

The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile long pathway that passes through seventeen historic monuments starting from Boston Common to Bunker Hill Monument. A trip to this place is highly recommended.
