The city centre has many unique characteristics such as charming cobblestone streets and Victorian gas-lamps that light the way at nightfall. A city beak in Boston is perfect for visitors who want to experience a slightly more sedate US city lifestyle that offers cultural and historic gems to rival the classic cities of Europe. Throughout the centre visitors can discover lovingly preserved Georgian and Victorian era civic buildings and churches and a host of iconic monuments that shaped the nation's history during the American Revolution and the anti-slavery movement.
