2 Welcome to Boston! Since 60, Boston has been one of the country s most rebellious cities. Here you ll find a spirit of independence that transcends generations, and a culture of innovation that has inspired the best and brightest minds for centuries. Boston is one of the most walkable cities in America, so be sure to wander the countless parks, visit landmarks such as the Old North Church and Fenway Park, and get lost amidst the cobblestone alleys and brownstone row houses of Boston s neighborhoods. Boston has some of the best restaurants in the country, not to mention world-class cultural institutions like the MFA and New England Aquarium. And throw Cambridge some love too! From Harvard to MIT to artsy Central Square, the People s Republic is a unique city unto itself. Written by Carl Unger, Monotype Zakim Bridge
