Boston aka
Beantown
Boston's unique historical and cultural heritage
gives the city a distinctive atmosphere. Founded in 1630, Boston
is one of the country's oldest towns. This vibrant, thriving city
is renowned for its cultural facilities, world-class educational
institutions, champion sports franchises, as well as its place at
the very forefront of American history. While many cities are
defined by their skylines, Boston is distinguished by its vibrant
neighborhoods, where neighborhood pride and cultures from all over
the world are cherished and celebrated.
Weather and Scenery
The weather in Boston during Labor Day weekend is generally mild
and pleasant, between 60F-80F during the day time and slightly
cooler in the evening. Being located along the Boston Harbor and
Charles River, the city offers a wide range of water related
entertainment such as boat cruises and waterfront restaurants.
